Homicide Investigation 

December 6, 2023 - Fresno Police Department officials report that they are conducting a homicide investigation near the area of Geneva Avenue and Reverend Chester Riggins Avenue.

On Saturday, December 2, 2023, just after 8:30 p.m., Southwest officers were sent to the 2300 Block of South Eunice for a stabbing victim. When officers arrived, they discovered a 38-year-old Andre Fane suffering from a stab wound. Officers provided immediate life-saving efforts at the scene, and he was transported to CRMC. Unfortunately, Fane was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

Officers detained another male adult near Elm Avenue and Reverend Chester Riggins Avenue, who was believed to be involved in a dispute with Fane. Detectives interviewed this male, along with several witnesses. There have been no arrests in the investigation, and detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding Fane’s death. This case is currently being treated as a homicide investigation, not necessarily a murder investigation. We are exploring all possible circumstances surrounding the death to determine the appropriate charges.
