Over the past week in Fresno, several notable criminal incidents were reported by local law enforcement and justice agencies. On September 9, Fresno police executed an evidentiary search warrant in a northwest Fresno neighborhood, near Birch and Ila avenues. Officers recovered two firearms and ammunition while searching the residence. A male suspect, alleged to be a felon barred from possessing weapons, was taken into custody and booked into the Fresno County Jail. The case remains under investigation according to authorities.
In a related development, a federal grand jury in Fresno handed down an indictment on September 4 charging Thomas Carter Beasley, 20, of Fresno, with being a felon in possession of a firearm. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the original incident occurred on November 16, 2024, when Beasley allegedly led local police on a high-speed chase through a Fresno neighborhood. After crashing his vehicle near an apartment complex, Beasley attempted to flee on foot before being apprehended. Officers subsequently located a loaded Glock .40 caliber pistol hidden in a nearby breezeway; the firearm’s serial number reportedly matched the gun box found in the crashed car. Beasley, on probation at the time due to a prior felony, was formally charged following a joint Fresno Police Department and federal task force investigation.
A separate violent incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Monday, near the intersection of Annabella Avenue and 4th Street in the San Joaquin area. Fresno County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a stabbing involving family members and discovered an adult male victim in his fifties suffering from serious stab wounds. Emergency medical services airlifted the victim to Community Regional Medical Center, where he remains in critical condition. Deputies report the suspect, described as a relative, fled the scene before law enforcement arrived, and efforts remain ongoing to locate and arrest the individual.
