Top stories: Deadly domestic violence in Fresno. Trucker stabbed. Murder-suicide backstory

Thursday’s news from the Central Valley reads heavy. A Fresno woman gunned down in a parking lot. A Punjabi Sikh trucker stabbed 17 times at a Wyoming rest stop. And a Fresno family finally speaking out about the two decades of hidden abuse that ended in murder-suicide.

Here are Thursday’s top stories to catch you up

• Update: Woman killed in late-night shooting in Fresno identified. Suspect arrested: Tiffany Stewart, 34, was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot near Palm and Shields avenues just after 11 p.m. Wednesday. Police say Jeffrey Randall, 29, opened fire during a domestic dispute as Stewart walked away from him in a parking lot. Officers found Randall nearby and booked him into Fresno County jail on suspicion of murder.
• Sikh Sacramento trucker stabbed 17 times in ‘horrific’ attack at Wyoming rest area: A 28-year-old Sacramento trucker who asked to be identified only by his surname, Singh, was ambushed early Sunday in a bathroom at the Bitter Creek rest area off Interstate 80. His attacker punched him, then went at him with a knife, leaving 17 wounds — including a deep gash beneath his arm where Singh said he could see bone. Andrew Kris Bzdak, 44, of San Gabriel is being held at Sweetwater County Detention Center on suspicion of attempted murder. Sikh advocates say the attack can’t be untangled from recent federal rhetoric targeting Punjabi truckers.
• Murder-suicide revealed 20 years of domestic abuse. ‘What Angie endured in silence’: Angie Reyes, 42, was shot and killed on Aug. 20 by her partner Nicholas Uribe, who then turned the gun on himself at a Fresno home near Fowler and Shields avenues. Her siblings say they only grasped the full weight of two decades of abuse after her death — just weeks before she planned to move out with her young son. The Marjaree Mason Center has seen a 33% jump in people served this fiscal year, and Fresno County has long ranked among California’s highest for per capita domestic violence calls.
