Murder In Kerman; 2 More Arrests Made

Fresno County Sheriff's Detectives say they have made two more arrests in connection with the murder of a Kerman man.

18-year-old Jose Arturo Guerrero and 19-year-old Joseph Edward Archuleta, both of Kerman, were taken into custody last Thursday. Detectives believe both men were involved in the murder of Marcus Lynn Snowden.

On October 22, 2011, Snowden's body was found near the intersection of 8th and Sunset in Kerman. Investigators say he was stabbed to death after an argument at a nearby home.

Two other men -- 21-year-old Manuel Ray Villareal and 24-year-old David Magallon Jr. -- were arrested earlier this year in connection with Snowden's murder.

Neighbor’s Video Helps Police Nab Car Thieves

Neighbor’s Video Helps Police Nab Car Thieves

Sergio Sandez's neighbor had a gut feeling that something wasn't right. So she recorded what she thought was suspicious activity with a couple of men surrounding a car across the street from her.

She handed that video over to police. And it helped Sergio Sandez get his car back.

"It's just great evidence at this point. In court we can say, yeah these are the people that are in the vehicle and there's an independent witness that videotaped it," Sergeant Tim Tietjen, Fresno Police Department, said.

The "Career Criminal Auto Theft" team or CCAT tracked down the stolen car and the people accused of taking it at a house right across the street from Sergio's.

"A neighbor told me, they just pulled in with your car. I said what, there's a bunch of police over there. So I came over and there's the car," Sandez said.
