FRESNO, CA. (THECOUNT) — A San Francisco 49ers fan was fatally shot after a Kansas City Chiefs fan showed up uninvited to a Fresno Super bowl party and started an argument. The theme of the party was in favor of the 49ers.
Police say 34-year-old Daniel Gonzalez, who is said to be homeless, rode his bike up to a family home in Fresno, California, just before noon Saturday and engaged in an argument with partygoer, 24-year-old Frank Rojas.
Gonzalez allegedly started an argument with Rojas because they liked different football teams. San Francisco 49ers decor was on display, reports FOX8.
The argument escalated, and police say Gonzalez shot Rojas in the abdomen with a “makeshift weapon.” The victim was transported to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead of gunshot injuries.
With the help of Rojas’ family, police found and detained Gonzalez at a nearby homeless encampment. The unknown weapon has not yet been located.
“People like to come out front and enjoy the day, eat and stuff like that, so you shouldn’t be worried about somebody driving up and shooting just because of a sports team,” neighbor James Easterling said.
Gonzalez faces several charges, including murder and possession of a firearm. He was on probation and prohibited from having a weapon.
