Fresno police are crediting a Valley Crime Stoppers tip for the apprehension of homicide suspect Jerry Rodriguez, 31, on Sunday.

Officers arrested Rodriguez at a motel near Blackstone and Barstow Avenues in connection with the shooting death of Salvador Olivera, 41, on Monday, March 28.

Authorities discovered the shooting victim after Shotspotter technology indicated that four rounds were fired at about 4:30 a.m. at an apartment complex near Ashlan and Fruit avenues.
