Who is Jose Luis Castaneda? Suspect of shooting at Edison High School, Fresno High School and Bullard High School

 

Jose Luis Castaneda, 23, allegedly made threats of a school shooting at Edison High School, Fresno High School, and Bullard High School while attempting to hide his identity and phone information. Let’s see who is Jose Luis Castaneda in detail.

Who is Jose Luis Castaneda?

Jose Luis Castaneda 23-years-old boy attempted to hide his name and phone information, but police said they arrested Jose Luis Castaneda for threats made at Bullard, Edison, and Fresno high schools on Monday.

Castaneda was tracked to an apartment complex in the area of Dakota and Hughes avenues before he was taken into custody, police said. He was booked into Fresno County Jail on suspicion of criminal threats, which is a felony crime.

These kinds of crimes are abhorrent since they have such a detrimental effect on our community, according to a news release from the police on Tuesday.

The Fresno Police Department will look into every threat made against the schools and students, working with all of our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners, and will hold those responsible accountable.

What Lt.Bill Dooley said?

Lt. Bill Dooley said police have found no indication that Castaneda intended to actually carry out any shooting at any campus.

He is held in lieu of $15,000 in bail, according to jail records.

Detectives were able to identify Castaneda as the suspect and were taken into custody at an apartment complex in the area of Dakota Avenue and Hughes Avenue.

He was booked into Fresno County Jail for three counts of felony criminal threats.

What did the Police Department say?

Fresno Police Department said it was a threat awareness to the school. In a message to his staff, Edison High School Principal Jose Munoz said that the school had received “a threatening anonymous phone call” that “someone was going to shoot up the school.”

Threats have been common in recent weeks in Fresno and around the state. Police claim that Sunnyside High was the target of a similar threat on October 4. A 14-year-old who threatened to shoot pupils at Edison High School last month was taken into custody by police.

About a week earlier, students at Clovis High School were forced to take cover in their classrooms after receiving a questionable phone call.  After receiving a telephone threat that two males were killing students on the Bullard High School campus with AR-15 rifles, Fresno police sped over to the school in September.

Police referred to it as a hoax. An investigation into the incident continues to be underway. The Medicotopics team is trying to gather more details about this case once we get the information we will update in our page.
