Shortly after midnight on July 10, 2025, gunfire erupted along the 1600 block of Dairy Avenue in Corcoran, California. Responding officers found a car that had crashed into a parked SUV near a late-night food stand; the driver, identified as Joshua James William Morton, 30, of Hanford, had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance footage and witness reports describe a car racing across Dairy Avenue and a loud crash during the chaos.

A woman who had closed her food truck was struck by the vehicle and hospitalized with injuries. A second gunshot victim from the same incident, 19-year-old Francisco Montez of Corcoran, was taken to a Tulare hospital and also died. Detectives opened a double-homicide investigation and asked witnesses to come forward; initial police statements said no suspect or motive had been identified and no arrests were announced.
