The 25-year-old man fatally shot this week while standing outside an apartment complex with his brother was identified Friday by Fresno police.

Kenyatta Williams was with his 27-year-old brother while they were visiting others about 3:40 p.m. Thursday at a complex just east of the intersection of Olive Avenue and Ninth Street, police said Friday.

An unknown gunman fired five rounds, striking both brothers, police said.

Williams was pronounced dead at Community Regional Medical Center at 4:13 p.m. while his brother remained in stable condition Friday, police said.

The brother’s injuries are not expected to be life-threatening, according to police.

Police were previously called to the location for what then was just a disturbance, and officers managed to clear the area, police have said.
