Fresno shooting: Kuvar Kumar killed outside home; police say attack 'not random'
A 33-year-old man, identified as Kuvar Kumar, was shot and killed outside his home in northwest Fresno on the evening of Monday, 21 July. Fresno Police said officers were dispatched to the area of State Avenue and Acacia Avenue at around 6:52 pm following reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers found Kumar unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. According to investigators, Kumar had just returned home when he was ambushed and fatally shot. Two people were reportedly inside the residence at the time of the attack, including Kumar's brother. Homicide detectives who responded to the scene say the presence of two distinct types of shell casings suggests there may have been more than one shooter. Police believe the act was targeted rather than random. The Fresno Police Department is actively canvassing the neighbourhood in search of witnesses or surveillance footage that may assist in identifying the suspects. No descriptions of the attackers have been released yet, and authorities have urged the public to come forward with any relevant information. 'This is an active investigation, and we are asking anyone who may have seen or heard anything to reach out,' said a spokesperson. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

Previously, he had pleaded not guilty on all the mentioned charges. The defence attorneys emphasised that Palensia was not treating Perry during the time of his death and nor did he provide any Ketamine that caused death, after the doctor reached an agreement.

From victim to accused: Karnataka man claims murder attempt by minor wife; faces child marriage, Pocso charges
RAICHUR: Marriage, deep differences, mutual separation and arrest - all in three months. A 22-year-old agricultural labourer's dream life swung from purple-prose marriage to high drama on a bridge to now attending police inquiry - and a possible arrest - on charges of marrying an underaged girl.
