After the shooting, the Ramirez left the neighborhood and came to this apartment complex on the corner of Dakota and Hughes.
They said he barricaded himself inside an apartment with other people, including a young child.
They were all released before the suspect surrendered to Fresno and Clovis SWAT officers.
“I started thinking of what else we can do to try and impact domestic violence because it’s obviously still occurring in our community,” said Clovis Police Chief Curt Fleming.
