Fargo Police Identify Homicide Victim

On Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 5:33 a.m., Fargo Police officers responded to a medical assist at 905 Main Avenue for a male who was unconscious and not breathing.  Officers on scene were able to determine the victim had sustained multiple gunshot injuries.  FM Ambulance personnel performed life saving measures, but the victim’s injuries were too severe and the victim died on scene.  The victim has been identified as Gabriel (NMN) Perez, 20 years of age, residing in Fargo. 

Fargo Police officers and detectives determined Perez was sitting on a curb next to the building when a dark colored Chevy Trailblazer entered the parking lot at a high rate of speed.  The driver pulled up next to the Perez and shot the Perez multiple times.  Perez got up and ran westbound in the parking lot, but he collapsed after a short distance.  The suspect drove out of the parking lot and continued eastbound on Main Avenue.  The suspect vehicle was located in Moorhead and was seized by police Sunday evening.  This incident is still under investigation.
