The people of Fresno are very sad after Joie Carrell died. She was 43 years old. Joie was found shot on Old Auberry Road on November 14. What started as a call about a gunshot injury turned into the sad discovery that she had died.
Deputies came around 11:30 a.m., but a CHP officer later found Joie lying near the road. She was already gone. Neighbors said Joie was known in the area. She often walked with her headphones on, kept to herself, but always gave a small smile when she passed by.
Detectives are working day and night to find out what happened. They are keeping the details of her injuries quiet while they investigate. They say it is a homicide case. Friends say Joie was gentle and easy to talk to. She remembered small details about people and liked sharing weekend plans.
The Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information to speak up. The community hopes for justice. For now, those who knew Joie remember her soft laugh and quiet kindness and pray the truth comes soon
