FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) — Fresno Police is seeking the public’s help in locating a suspect involved in a 2019 homicide of a 19-year-old man who was in his bedroom playing video games.
On Nov. 27 at around 10 p.m., officers received a ShotSpotter activation of three rounds fired in the area of 2205 E. Tyler Ave. Arriving officers also received a 911 call regarding a shooting victim at the same location.
Contact was made with Enrique Vega, who was found in his bedroom, suffering from gunshots to his head and neck, Police said. Vega was taken to Community Regional Medical Center where he remained in critical condition for two days.

Jones is considered armed and dangerous.
The suspect had shot Vega through his bedroom while playing a video game, Police said. Vega’s mother heard the gunfire and ran to his room to find him struggling to breathe on the floor. She immediately called 911.
