The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges against a 31-year-old Fresno man, accusing him of attempted murder and other crimes stemming from a violent domestic dispute on Wednesday, May 7.

Martin Campos, Jr. is accused of chasing his ex-girlfriend and her 3-year-old daughter southbound on Highway 41, during which he allegedly physically assaulted the woman and rammed his vehicle into hers, the district attorney’s office said in a statement.

The defendant reportedly threatened to kill her while pointing a firearm at her.

The situation escalated as Campos fired at least one round at the victim when the vehicles stopped at a traffic light near Jensen Avenue and Highway 99, where an officer arrived and returned fire.

Following the shooting, Campos fled, striking two nearby vehicles in a hit-and-run before surrendering to police. He was taken into custody without further incident.

The felony complaint also includes enhancements for firearm use, possession of a firearm by a felon, and other related charges.

If convicted on all counts, Campos faces up to 35 years, 8 months in prison, plus a life sentence with the possibility of parole, prosecutors said.
