Baltazar Fidencio Torrez, 34, was killed in Fresno, California on August 11, 2007. Authorities described his death as the result of a violent confrontation; it was one of two fatal incidents in that same weekend that underscored a violent stretch in the area. Details about how the confrontation unfolded are sparse and the investigation encountered challenges.

Torrez’s death left his family seeking answers while Fresno authorities worked to address the rise in homicides and pursue those responsible.
