Fresno shooter still on the loose

All victims in the Fresno mass shooting are adult men.

A coroner’s office has identified the four people who died in a targeted shooting at a backyard party in Fresno, California. Ten people were shot in all.

The Fresno County coroner’s office said Monday that 23-year-old Xy Lee, a Hmong singer, 31-year-old Phia Vang, 38-year-old Kou Xiong and 40-year-old Kalaxang Thao were killed. All men were from Fresno.

Pao Yang, CEO of the Fresno Center, says two of the victims were well-known entertainers in the Hmong community.

Fresno Police Chief Andrew Hall said a family of Hmong people were having a party when the house was targeted Sunday evening.

Authorities say they’re investigating if there’s a connection between the shooting and a disturbance that some of the men at the party were involved in last week.

Fresno has a large community of people of the Hmong ethnic group from Southeast Asia.

Police Lieutenant Bill Dooley said no arrests have been made after what he described as a “mass casualty shooting” in the southeast of the city.

“What we do know is that this was a gathering, a family and friend gathering in the backyard,” Dooley said.

“Everyone was watching football this evening when unknown suspects approached the residence, snuck into the backyard and opened fire.” (US News, Sky News)
