(KFSN) — A suspect has been arrested for a shooting that left a man dead in northwest Fresno over the weekend. Fresno police announced Friday that 26-year-old Domonique Jones has been arrested for the death of 38-year-old Gilberto Gutierrez. The shooting happened just before 2 am on Sunday outside Ewell’s Place on the corner of Shaw and Marks. Police say there was an argument between about nine people outside the bar. Gutierrez stepped in and tried to defuse the fight between his friend group and Jones. Officials say the fight turned deadly when Jones pulled out a handgun and shot Gutierrez. Gutierrez was found with a gunshot wound in the parking lot and taken to the hospital, where he later died. The 26-year-old alleged shooter was arrested late this afternoon. Fresno police say Jones is the sole person responsible for killing Gutierrez. They say they relied on surveillance video to identify Jones as the shooter. Investigators say the video

Saturday, April 20, 2024 6:24AM Three people have died and four others, including a child, were injured after a crash on Highway 41 near Caruthers on Friday night. FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Three people have died and four others, including a child, were injured after a crash on Highway 41 near Caruthers on Friday night. The crash happened around 7 pm at the intersection of 41 Southbound and East Nebraska Avenue. The California Highway Patrol says a Silverado pickup truck was crossing the intersection with the highway but did not stop.

There were also three female passengers. The CHP says they were not wearing seatbelts and all three of them were ejected. Two of those female passengers died at the scene and another was flown by helicopter to CRMC with major injuries. As for the Dodge truck that was hauling the camper, there were three people inside.

LOS ANGELES — The evolution will be televised. The new documentary, “Hip-Hop and the White House” explores the relationship between the music genre of hip-hop and the politicians who shape the policies of this nation. “We feel that this is really timely because we’ve had the 50th anniversary of the creation of hip-hop and then we have this election. And hip-hop has more influence than it ever had before,” writer/director Jesse Washington told On The Red Carpet. “We really had to set the stage for what hip-hop came out of and the political consciousness that was baked into the culture from the beginning just by virtue of existing in this country and being on the receiving end of presidential policies since the 1970s,” he continued. KRS-One, Roxanne Shante, Bun B, YG, Common and Waka Flocka Flame are among those featured in the documentary, along with Jeezy, who narrates the film. Their stories go back to the 1970s and 1980s, from the war on drugs, which so many rappers wrote about, to NWA to Eazy-E attending a Republican group’s luncheon with then President George H.W. Bush

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — From the sun in the fields, to the bright lights on the stage. Friday, Erick Aragon, better known as Latin singer “Codiciado,” made a special stop in Reedley. “I want to help because I know how hard it is to work right here, its hot, so I come to give some food and some tickets for my show,” said Codiciado. He teamed up with the La Campensina radio station, a part of the Cesar Chavez foundation, to provide burritos to local farmworkers, something Maria Bravo appreciates and says it gives her hope for the future. “If he can do it, others can do it and I am so proud of him for working in the fields and now having his own music. He’s showing the rest of us that we can also make it,” said Bravo. As he goes back to his roots, he recalls his time in the fields. “I want to cry, when I am singing because my songs are about families and working hard for goods, so I see the people around me and I’m here so

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — An audit released earlier this month provided a scathing review of the state’s oversight of efforts to tackle homelessness. Over the past five years, the state spent 24 billion dollars to tackle homelessness; however, the effectiveness and outcomes of the programs haven’t been tracked, according to the audit. The report also found that the California Inter-Agency Council on Homelessness stopped tracking program spending in 2021. Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the state will expand California’s Housing Accountability Unit to include more aggressive enforcement of housing laws and reassign personnel to the unit. Although state oversight appears to be lacking, Fresno leaders and organizations receiving the funds say they hold themselves accountable. “We work hand in hand with the city of Fresno,” said Zack Darrah, Poverello House CEO. “Every single penny and dollar is, is scrutinized all the way to the you know, to this receipt, or that receipt, typically going through 1,000s of pages, every single month of what dollars are being spent on and what the impacts are of those dollars.” On Thursday, it was announced that Fresno

Saturday, April 20, 2024 12:50AM In a classroom at the Center for Advanced Research and Technology, students are finalizing their posters and projects for an upcoming symposium. CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) — In a classroom at the Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART) groups of students are gathered around their laptops finalizing their posters and projects for an upcoming symposium. They’re all part of the Psychology and Human Behavior lab at the school. Each of the three groups we met with sent out surveys to students to collect data – and are now analyzing it based on the responses. “This is not a project you can really slack on.” Senior Estrella Aguilar said. Estrella Aguilar and her partners are looking at the link between teenage stress and sleep to see if their hypothesis is backed up by data. “Someone who is more stressed out would likely have more distress in their nightmares and, conversely, someone who has less stress has less distress in their nightmares,” Aguilar said. Miranda Caballero and her group are looking into the amount of time high school students spend on Instagram

Saturday, April 20, 2024 12:47AM The Fresno community spent Black Maternal Health Week raising awareness about the racial disparities Black women face in maternal and birthing outcomes. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The Fresno community spent Black Maternal Health Week raising awareness about the racial disparities Black women face in maternal and birthing outcomes. However, one Fresno doctor hopes the conversation continues. “It’s a serious matter,” said Dr. Christina Hiebert. “I think that in light of this, our state, especially in the state of California, has drawn attention to it and is working really hard to improve the situation.” Dr. Hiebert is the chief of Kaiser Permanente Fresno’s Birthing Center. She said — regardless of income, age and education — Black women are more likely to have serious pregnancy complications. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there. Black families are more likely to see the mom and child die during childbirth. According to Dr. Hiebert, there are multiple reasons for this dire outcome. “One is unequal access or barriers to health care. There’s also variations in the quality of care and care coordination, depending on where you’re receiving

In 2019, prosecutors charged a Florida man with killing his brother, father and mother so he could steal $200,000 to spend on a model from Bulgaria who he met online. A new Paramount+ docuseries, “CTRL+ALT+DESIRE,” investigates the triple murder. Director Colin Archdeacon joins CBS News to discuss the making of the series.

U.S. officials say Israel launched a small number of missiles at Iran on Friday in retaliation for Iran’s missile attack against Israel last week. CBS News national security contributor Sam Vinograd joins with analysis.

Niger has been home to a major U.S. airbase in the city of Agadez, some 550 miles from the capital Niamey, using it for manned and unmanned surveillance flights and other operations.

Texas state law says a child under the age of 10 doesn’t have criminal culpability, law enforcement said.

Senior U.S. officials confirmed that Israeli missiles struck Iran Friday morning, but little else is known about the extent of the attack or any potential damage. Both countries appear to be downplaying the strikes, suggesting an effort to deescalate tensions. Debora Patta has more from Jerusalem.

Klay Thompson wants us to live in the present. I think he’s living in the past. But ultimately, we should expect him to be part of the Warriors’ future. Following what was inarguably his worst performance as a professional basketball player in the Warriors’ season-ending play-in tournament loss to the Kings — a game where Thompson’s defense was as poor as his offense (and he went 0-for-10 from the floor) — it was impossible not to wonder if the pending unrestricted free agent had played his last game for the Dubs. He clearly had the same question, as he made a little show of spinning around as he walked off the court at Golden 1 Center Tuesday, taking it all in. And yet Wednesday, when asked about his future to open his end-of-season press conference, he decided to put on another little show. “We don’t want to talk about the season first?” Thompson said. “You want to talk about the future? There was a lot of games played, man. That was a pretty big accomplishment. What’s up with y’all not wanting to live in the

By Sally French | NerdWallet At the airport, long lines for check-in, security screenings and even getting food can feel like a giant waste of time — and potentially disrupt even the most meticulously planned itinerary. But with planning, you can skip some of the most annoying lines, and in some cases, get reimbursed if the line-skipping privilege requires an application fee. Here are five common airport bottlenecks and how to avoid them for free or cheap. 1. Check in It is the year 2024, which means there’s a mobile version of all sorts of travel services. That includes the ability to check in to your flight without standing in line at the airline counter. Most airlines allow you to check in for your flight directly through their mobile app or website within 24 hours of departure, allowing you to bypass the desk and proceed directly to security if you are flying with only carry-on luggage. Even if you plan to check bags, checking in online via the airline app or website can help speed up the process so all you will have to do

Robert Lloyd | Los Angeles Times (TNS) “Based on a true story” — why do we care? Does it matter whether the events of a dramatic work “really happened,” or sort of happened, more or less in the way we’re being told? Is it a come-on to prurient interests, when the subject is dark or sensational? Is it to appear educational? Is it to advertise that things that seem too incredible to be true really are true, to make what’s shocking even more shocking, or to prop up a story that can’t stand on its own? If I had a definite answer for you, there wouldn’t have been so many question marks in the preceding paragraph. All of the above, maybe. “Dragnet” changed the names to protect the innocent, but nowadays it’s the fashion to keep the names, while the facts, found wanting on their own, might get a fictional assist. In “Under the Bridge,” a limited series based on Rebecca Godfrey’s well-received 2005 book about the 1997 murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in green and watery Victoria, British Columbia, some of the names are

Neal Justin | (TNS) Star Tribune “Dora the Explorer” has inspired many youngsters to get curious about the world beyond the borders of Sesame Street. But once your child reaches the age of 7, Dora’s adventures get a little dull. That’s when Jane Garcia should take over. The 9-year-old heroine of “Jane,” which returns Friday on Apple TV+, is one of those kids who knows more types of dinosaurs than names of Olivia Rodrigo songs. Her enthusiasm gets a bit grating, but she’s a great guide for more grown-up treks, especially with Earth Day being celebrated Monday. In this second season, Jane Garcia (Ava Louise Murchison) and her pun-loving pal David (Mason Blomberg) get super curious about pandas, wolves, armadillos and coral reefs. Instead of pretending to be princesses and cowboys, they imagine themselves in the deep sea or on the African tundra, saving creatures from the effects of climate change and poachers. After a few episodes, your children may be begging you to take them to the Amazon instead of Disney World. What makes “Jane” extra special is that it never talks down to

Authorities are investigating how a former Giants coach, now on the Colorado Rockies’ staff, made his way into the cockpit during a team charter flight from Denver to Toronto this month, according to published reports. Hensley Meulens, the Giants’ hitting coach during their run to three World Series championships a decade ago, brought attention to the situation when he posted a video on social media this week that appeared to show him sitting in one of the two pilot seats during the United Airlines flight on April 10. The video, which went viral, has been deleted. “Had some fun in the cockpit on our flight from Denver to Toronto,” Meulens, nicknamed “Bam Bam,” wrote in the video caption. “Thanks to the captain and the first officer of our United charter that allowed me this great experience.” In the video, Meulens is heard saying while gesturing to a uniformed person next to him, “Flying the plane, here to Toronto. I’m going to land the plane tonight. So relax.” The Federal Aviation Administration and United Airlines are investigating how Meulens got into the cockpit, according to the Wall
