Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer confirmed on Friday the man was killed at an apartment complex, located on the 2700 Block of E. Weldon Avenue.
According to Dyer, police were dispatched to the apartment complex Thursday evening around 9:42 p.m. for reports of a person on the floor of the complex. When officers arrived they located 59-year-old Albert Rodriguez, suffering from injuries from an assault.
