OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 12/17/2022, the California Highway Patrol and Fresno County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting on southbound Highway 41 near Ashlan Avenue after a 911 call reporting a domestic violence incident. Investigators say that Kou Vue of Fresno pulled over his vehicle after convincing the women inside to stop on the shoulder and then opened fire, killing 28-year-old Ta-Sheng Ly, the sister of his estranged ex-girlfriend. The victim was transported to a hospital where she later died. CHP and sheriff’s deputies tracked Vue’s vehicle shortly afterward on Highway 99 northbound. At a freeway offramp in Fresno, officers heard a single gunshot from Vue’s car. Police later determined that Vue had shot himself and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound while law enforcement was attempting to locate and contact him.
