Police arrest two juvenile suspects

A Madera teen died Wednesday after he was shot four times at point blank range about 2:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Carl’s Jr. on Madera Avenue near State Route 99.

The boy was taken to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, where he was pronounced dead.

Police are not releasing the juvenile’s name until family has been notified.

Madera police Lt. Cmdr. Steve Frazier said patrol officers were nearby and followed the four to five male suspects as they jumped fences and ran into a residential neighborhood...

I thought his aunt said he was religious????
If he was religious and a good kid I don't think a gangbanger would go up to him and did what he did??? It amazes me what people would do to deny this kid was gang affiliated! The fresno bee said he was in a scuffle with the police broke a patrol car wind shield ??? I'm sorry I'm not buying the religious thing??? His family should tell the media This should be an example of what this gang life style would do to someone. He should of stayed in church and done his bible sudies he would still be with his family!

THIS IS FOR THE COMMENT ABOVE MINE! IT IS STUPID THAT YOU ARE ASSUMING THINGS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. YOU SHOULDN'T JUDGE IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW HIM. YOU WOULD BE IN THE SAME SPOT IF HE WAS RELATED TO YOU! SO I ADVICE YOU NOT TO TALK ANY MORE WITHOUT KNOWING THE TRUTH! IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE UP RUMORS! AND HE WAS RELIGIOUS FOR UR INFORMATION! HE JUST HAD THE WRONG GROUP OF FRIENDS, AND DON'T BELIEVE NONE OF THE FRESNO'S BEE BS! IT'S JUST LIES! YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR FACTS BEFORE SPEAKING!

LOVE AND MISS YOU COUSIN! <3

I agree with you those kids made wrong choices and may god be with them and ask for forgiveness I'm sure their regretting did what they did. My heart goes out to both those 15 year olds I have grand kids and it would break my heart to see them throw thier lives away for gangs.

Really? So church is all you need to be fine in this world? Gang affiliated makes you worthy of being shot? Parents! hold your children close. shooter or shot, help each other look for a solution instead of looking for blame.
