Robert Yost, 29, was shot and killed on March 6, 2015, in Fresno, California. The fatal shooting happened in the early hours while Yost was walking near Blackstone and Ashlan Avenues; an unknown assailant confronted him and opened fire. Emergency services responded but Yost died at the scene.

Investigators struggled to move the case forward because there were few eyewitnesses and no clear motive. Authorities and Yost’s family urged anyone with information to come forward; Crime Stoppers and local media later helped by reenacting the incident to encourage tips, but suspects had not been identified. The killing underscored rising concerns about shootings in parts of Fresno.

If anyone was in the Blackstone and Ashlan area that morning or has information about this shooting, please share what you know.
