Suspect Charged With Murder
Carrasco, 24, was patrolling a residential neighborhood when a neighbor stopped him to report a suspicious person in the area. A short time later, investigators say the officer located the suspicious person and attempted to contact him when he was gunned down.
The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office has charged Nathaniel Michael Dixon, 23 of Selma with murder in the officer’s death.
