Footage of fight between juveniles and paramedic outside Clovis store released
CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) — Newly released footage captures a fight that broke out between a paramedic and a group of juveniles at a store in Clovis over the weekend. The video released by the Clovis Police Department on Friday shows the fight unfolding between Herculano Tucay and the minors around 6 p.m. Sunday at the Target on Shaw and Clovis. The first video shows security stopping a group of teens from entering the store. Investigators say the teens were asked to leave. As the teens exit the store, a man identified as Tucay, who had just entered, turns around and follows them out. In a second video, Tucay is seen quickly approaching the teen. “There is no association, he doesn’t work for Target, he wasn’t asked to assist, and he put himself there, escalated it, and really sort of was the initiator of a conflict that did not need to occur,” said Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp. The teen then shoves Tucay. In a third angle, the fight spills into the frame with attacks seemingly coming from all directions. Several bystanders try to intervene
