Victims In Tuesday Murders Identified

Details have begun to emerge about the three men who were shot and killed yesterday in downtown Fresno.

Mark Gassett was shot in the back as he walked home from Catholic Charities with groceries. The 39-year-old died on the scene. He had two children. Fifty-eight-year-old David Martin Jackson was shot outside the Catholic Charities office and died later at the hospital. 

Zackary Randalls was a 34-year-old PG&E employee shot in his work truck. He died at the hospital. The father of two was on his first ride-along with PG&E. Fresno police believe the suspected gunman also killed Carl Allen Williams III, a 25-year-old security guard gunned down while on duty at a Motel 6 last Thursday. 

The suspect, 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad, could be charged with the killings as early as tomorrow.
