Bikers Rev Engines to Remember Man Shot by Fresno Police
Family and friends gathered on Sunday, June 26, to remember a man who had been shot by Fresno police on Saturday. Dylan Noble died during surgery after being taken to the hospital following the shooting. He may have been unarmed at the time of the shooting, but that has yet to be confirmed.
People gathered near the Chevron station where Noble was shot, and motorcycles, dirt bikes, and trucks filled the parking lot. At times, people revved their engines in tribute to Noble, which can be seen in this video. Noble’s Facebook profile shows images of dirt bikes and pick-up trucks.
Police on Saturday afternoon were investigating reports of a man walking the streets with a rifle, according to a report. Police attempted to pull over a speeding pick-up truck, which would not immediately pull over. The driver pulled over at the Chevron station after about half a mile and got out of the truck.
Once the driver exited the vehicle, he walked away with one hand in his waistband area and one hand behind his back. Police asked him to show his hands, according to the report. The driver then said he hated his life and made a movement to the small of his back, which is when police shot him several times.
The police officers involved in the shooting have not been identified, but some reports indicate the officers were wearing body cameras at the time of the shooting. Family and friends have called for the body camera footage to be released. Credit: Instagram/Jake Dowell
