Good morning, Fresno.

Two people are in custody for a shooting at Los Viejones Barbershop on Belmont and Van Ness that took place on April 19 — the 18-year-old Kobe Chantharangsy faces murder charges for killing 44-year-old Jampier Quintero, an innocent bystander, while Adrian Echeverria is held as an accessory.

Two Fresno women shared their stories of escaping Nazi Europe as children.

They explained how their families left Germany and Austria before Nazi rules made escape impossible—stories they told at Temple Beth Israel on Yom HaShoah.

Central Valley news reporters, including those from The Business Journal, were honored at the 37th annual George F.

Gruner Awards held at Fresno State on April 25 & several winners received recognition for their public service articles and feature writing on local topics.

Fresno State’s TRIO Educational Talent Search program will honor 152 first-generation graduates from six high schools in a series of ceremonies starting May 1 at Mendota High School and ending May 14 at Riverdale High School; each event (with keynote speakers and student testimonials) is set to celebrate the achievements of nearly 700 program participants. The graduations will provide a platform for recognizing academic and career milestones as well as breaking generational barriers.

The city of Fresno filed a new unlawful detainer lawsuit against the nonprofit that runs Granite Park after an earlier eviction effort was dismissed for a paperwork mistake.

The suit claims the nonprofit owes rent with a case management meeting set for May 7 — a court hearing will be held on May 29 as the group accuses the city of retaliation.

Fresno County officials are considering a citizen-led ballot initiative to renew Measure C, a half-cent transportation tax, as an alternative to a council-led measure that needs a two-thirds vote—critics say that threshold is nearly impossible in today's economy.

The move could result in up to three transportation measures on the 2026 ballot—further fueling debates over local transit funding.
