Elderly grandmother brutally attacked in Fresno, family seeks justice and answers

FRESNO, CALIFORNIA – A 63-year-old grandmother in Fresno is currently receiving continuous medical care following a vicious assault in a road rage incident, sparking a police investigation into the felony assault case. The family of the victim is now seeking justice, as they express concerns over her safety and request privacy to avoid potential retaliation.

According to the victim’s family, the assault on the grandmother was not carried out by a single suspect but involved multiple individuals. The incident took place on March 30th near Granite Park in Fresno, with details of the attack still limited as the family endeavors to gather evidence to assist in the investigation.

Witnesses at the scene provided accounts of the assault to the victim’s family, revealing the brutal nature of the attack that left the grandmother with severe injuries. Brian Rodriguez, the victim’s son-in-law, described how the assailants physically assaulted the grandmother both inside and outside her vehicle, resulting in extensive bruising and swelling.

The extent of the grandmother’s injuries was significant enough to necessitate a week-long hospitalization, with doctors monitoring her condition closely due to concerns about brain swelling and memory loss. As the family awaits updates on her recovery, they emphasize the importance of justice being served and urge anyone with information to contact the Fresno Police Department.

To support the grandmother’s recovery and cover mounting medical expenses, the family has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser. They hope that with time and ongoing medical care, the grandmother will regain her memory and function, but for now, she requires constant attention and support from her loved ones.
