The arrests stem from Zuniga’s killing on Oct. 29, 2022, when the sheriff’s office received a 911 call at 1:30 a.m. reporting shots fired at 8096 E. Hedges Ave in Fresno.

The location was hosting a large Halloween costume party attended by about 200 guests. A disturbance broke out, and shots were fired, hitting Zuniga, who died at the scene.

Most of the partygoers quickly fled the home following the shooting.
