FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Fresno Police are searching for three men responsible for firing over 40 shots into a southwest Fresno home that killed a woman.
The shooting happened just after 4 p.m. on Wednesday near East Samson and South Lee avenues.
When officers arrived, they found 31-year-old Markazsa Perry in the backyard of a home, suffering from a single gunshot wound to her upper body.
Perry was rushed to Community Regional Medical Center, where she later died.
Investigators say three men walked up to the home and fired over 40 rounds into the house. Officers added there were other people inside the home.
“It’s clear that the suspects were there to kill someone,” Fresno Police Lieutenant Paul Cervantes said. “Whether she was the intended target, that’s still yet to be determined.”
Officers did not provide any suspect information.
Police say Perry was not associated with gangs but believe there is a possible gang connection to the shooting.
This is Fresno’s 30th murder this year.
