To answer a question widowithfoursons had about gang affiliation, and if this would me MS-13 I can now speculate. It probably won't be MS-13, but more likely a local gang member, of the "Bulldogs." The Bulldogs are primarily hispanic. They are in various areas of the city of Fresno, claiming areas of the city and designating themselves by areas, noting themselves as east side, park side, and a couple of others I can't remember right now.

Figueroa is still being called a "person of interest." Amd now, the FBI has been called in to assist.

"The man sought for the shooting of Fresno police officer Brian Nieto is also a person of interest by detectives investigating the disappearance of a Hanford woman.

Hanford Police said Wednesday that Joaquin Figueroa, 25, is a person of interest in the case of Debbie Hawk, 46, a Hanford mother of three who was reported missing June 13. Officers later changed the classification of the case to a homicide after tests showed that blood in the woman's home and car was hers.

This account by the BEE doesn't list Figueroa as a person of interest in the shooting of officer Nieto, it states that he is being sought for the shooting. The other part is stunning. Mrs. Hawk disappeared and her body has not been found. The information that Figueroa is a person of interest in THAT case is not good, if it is true that he is being sought for the shooting of officer Nieto. "Bulldog" gang members have, in the past, kidnapped and carjacked people, and murdered them. I am not alleging that Figueroa is a gang member, I'm only saying that I would not be surprised now if a gang member is involved in the Hawk disappearance!
