There have been three arrests in Monday's double murder at a home on Cherry Ave. just south of Fresno
Two men were fatally shot, after an argument involving four men.
Detectives initially arrested 34-year-old Mario Jimenez, and today took two more suspects into custody: 51-year-old Jose Alfredo Jimenez and his 18-year-old stepson Michael Ray Pranger. Both men turned themselves in at sheriff's headquarters.
Detectives are still sorting out the details of the shooting, but say drugs may have played a role.
According to Deputy Chris Curtice with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department, there was also a 300 plant marijuana grow located at the rear of the property. Curtice said, "We're looking to see if there was some motive for the shooting also."
Dectectives believe there may have been more witnesses to the shooting and they're hoping to hear from some of them. They also say the weapons used in the crime have disappeared.
