After fatal shooting near Fresno State, police still searching for suspects
Fresno police are searching for suspects involved in the shooting of a man close to the Fresno State campus on Monday night.
The shooting occurred at a Northeast Fresno apartment complex on Recreation Avenue just south of Shaw, near the Save Mart Center, according to news reports.
The university community was not notified of the shooting until 19 hours after the incident.
Police have identified the victim, who was not a student at Fresno State, as 31-year-old Nehemiah McKinsey of Madera. According to news reports, McKinsey was taken to Community Regional Medical Center where he later died. He was apparently shot in the upper body.
According to an e-mail message sent to the campus community late Tuesday afternoon, police responded to the scene shortly after 10 p.m. Monday after receiving calls regarding shots fired.
Police told local news outlets that the shooting might have been drug related. Several vehicles were seen leaving the apartment complex just after the shooting, according to reports, and police were searching for a white SUV with tinted windows and chrome rims.
Amy Armstrong, the public information officer for the University Police Department, told The Collegian that Fresno police responded to the call and are handling the investigation. University police did go to the crime scene but did not take action, Armstrong said, since the incident occurred in the city of Fresno and is not UPD’s case.
The Monday incident marks the 12th homicide in Fresno this year.
On April 23, another shooting near campus occurred on the south side of Bulldog Lane, where one victim was shot and taken to a local hospital.
According to Armstrong, the university determined that neither the April 23 shooting nor the Monday night shooting posed a danger to the Fresno State students or employees and did not disrupt campus activities.
The campus was notified of the April shooting, which occurred around 3:45 p.m., via the campus bulletin board e-mail listserv. The e-mail was issued about three hours after the incident.
For the most recent incident, the university notified the university community at 5:11 p.m. the day after the incident — 19 hours later.
When there are campus emergencies, according to Armstrong, the university uses several means to contact the campus community. See http://www.csufresno.edu/police/emergency/notify/index.shtml.
Armstrong said the University Police Department officers are trained to determine the severity of incidents.
When an incident occurs on campus or in surrounding areas, the University Police chief or his or her lieutenants determine if there is a danger to students and inform the president and other top campus officials if the campus should be notified.
Armstrong said that once the details of the incident are relayed through the chain of command and discussed with other campus administrators, a course of action is then decided.

Gee, another Fresno anonymous sadist – seems like they are a dime a dozen around here. It’s almost laughable how petty and disgusting you are – evoking a wannabe persona with intent to spread hate and slime. Not gonna work asshat – we know your type and have tossed you into the garbage heap of creeps. I like the idea of composting your necrotic persona into fertilizer for my yard. The toxicity will be broken down by love and nature, and released into the earth for the good of all. I know it must be hard to have a brain made of diarrhea. It’s gotta smell and feel pretty bad – but poop makes the most awesome compost so maybe there is a use for you after all.

Hey, Jablome fakename. He’s my son, you asshat, which you would know if you’d actually READ the comments by his family and friends. YOU are the one thinking somebody’s trying to make him into a religious figure. WE are the ones who are just mourning the loss of somebody we loved. YOU are the one who has no business making asshat comments on an old set of messages. WE are the ones who will miss him and mourn him for a very long time. YOU are the one who has nothing better to do than harass dead and live people you don’t know. WE are the ones who have a genuine caring and sense of loss for somebody we knew and loved. Now who looks like an idiot? Get a therapist instead of taking out your bitterness on the internet.

Another judgmental know-nothing blathering about people he doesn’t know. Fake name too. Love it. Why don’t you go do your homework? I’m sure your GREAT parents would love to know that they raised somebody who wanders around the internet saying ignorant mean crap to people he doesn’t know. Yeah, YOU were raised right, I can tell. I’ve learned in my long life that people like you are a dime a dozen and not worth the chair your butt sits on.

BTW, as long as we are judging people by the words they write on a computer screen, I’ve “met” plenty of people like you (are you really multiple fake people or just one jerk?), and based on the words you write, which is all I have to go by, your “type” has certain undesirable characteristics:
1) you get your jollies from saying judgmental, nasty things to people you’ve never met and know nothing about.
2) you like “pushing peoples’ buttons just because you can.”
3) you do not contribute positively to the conversations you invade.
4) you are hateful. bigoted, disrespectful, and potty-mouthed.
5) you display ignorance and lack of logic in all of your words.
6)you think you are far better than you really are.
7)you show a distinct lack of character, not to mention brain power.
Go ahead, push away. Your words have no effect except to reinforce your obvious lack of character and show that you are essentially a nasty person(s), whereas the people who are here for a valid reason will continue to support each other while coming to terms with their loss. Have a nice day.

DId it ever occur to you that the people posting that he shouldn’t have been involved with drugs are right? Anyone with any common sense knows you shouldn’t take and deal drugs. How dumb can you get? If is people like him who give Fresno a bad reputation. The drug addicts, drug dealers, and any other worthless loser who who doesn’t contribute positively to society.
Nobody cares about a drug dealer being killed. Not one person. The best part about this case is that none of the fine students at Fresno State were harmed as well as none of the officers who had to respond to the call. People who are doing something with their lives and aren’t lazy bums shouldn’t have to live along side people like this who are drains on society.
Who raises their son to be a drug dealer and a drug addict like the article said? What parenting book does it say to do that? You are the one who needs to take responsibility for your failure as a parent. You failed. Why don’t you take responsibility for your failures instead of insulting people who leave comments commending the Fresno PD for helping to root out the losers in Fresno.

I fear for the future of our species when so-called “great students of Fresno State,” based on one line in a news story (“drugs may have been involved), and not knowing any other details about the person who was killed or the specifics of the incident, become judge, jury, and executioners because they have determined the victim to be an evil drug dealer who had no right to live. You people make me very sad for humankind. We have become a vicious, judgmental, ignorant species.

For the love of God, would you put a sock in it? What are you now, a priest? LMFAO!!!!!! Funny for someone so religious you raised a drug dealer and a drug addict. Great job. You must be very proud of yourself. Instead of learning worthless sayings, why weren’t you a better mother? Maybe then your son wouldn’t have turned to drugs. How stupid can you get? It is your fault. Now keep your mouth shut. Society has no need for drug addicts and drug dealers like what was said in the article. Nobody misses people like that. They are worthless.

You sound like an idiot. A judgmental idiot. Congrats on being a bigmouthed raving idiot. You need that sock.

BTW, one of the other undesirable characteristics of people like you is to get even more illogical, vicious, and personal when somebody calls you on your vicious attacks. Good job, moron. Go do your homework.

My husband, if he were not out of town, would be shaking his head, reminding me not to feed the trolls. As he says, and I already know, feeding trolls only brings out their mob mentality and cowardly ignorance. So I leave you ignorant cowards to mob up with other cowards and act like fools. I seriously doubt that most of you could withstand a close look at your personal morals, attitudes, and behavior without being exposed as the hypocrites that you are. Good luck, because you will need it if you approach the rest of your life experiences the way you approach online “information.” There are plenty of targets on the internet and in your classes for you to attack viciously with your ignorance if your blood lust is still not satiated.

sorry for your loss——can we end this whole thing?

I can’t believe how iggnorant and heart-less you people are! First of all who are you to even comment on the loss of this womans son. Are any of you parents? I am, and I am trying to steer my son away from the evil, but they will take their own path in life. If your child, sister, brother, or someone you loved choose a different path in life, would you want people like you to judge? And secondly…. They article simply stated that they believe it may have been drug-related…. They say that, so that idiots like you will read into it and chalk it up as a bad person off the streets, just to cover the fact that they don’t know how to do their job and have nothing on what really happened.

Screw what anyone says Katherine, you and Rick raised one of the most respectful, simple, and selfless man I ever met! Just please don’t play into what these sick people say, we knew him and its their loss that they didn’t!

Sabrina – you prove my point again. Nothing is stated clearly in the article and there has been no follow up. If you are really interested in news, which is highly doubtful, then why don’t you write to the editors and ask for a follow up story? Nehemiah’s family has been trying to get more information from the media and the police, and it has not been forthcoming. The more people who ask, the better the chances that the truth will come to light. You know nothing for certain, and it shows. So try making a contribution for a change – or is that too difficult?

Those of you who want people to stop saying negative things should consider some advice commonly found on public forums: Please do not feed the trolls. Getting so upset over what some stranger thinks is ridiculous — for both sides.

Thanks to all who gathered here to share their views and to those especially who knew Nehemiah and took a few moments to say goodbye. For all concerned, I hope that this case is solved as quickly as possible. Thank you to the Collegian staff who allowed us to express our memories and thoughts with a little guidance!
