Fresno police is asking for the public's help to locate a 27-year-old suspect in an attempted homicide case from October.

Police say at around 2 a.m. on the morning of Oct. 31, a couple went to the ARCO gas station at Fresno Street and McKinley Avenue to get some snacks and fill up the air in their car's tires.

When one of the victims went into the store to buy food and ask for the clerk to turn on the air pumps, police say a disturbance broke out between the victim and suspect, identified as Marcelino Higareda.

Police say Higareda claimed to be a gang member, but that the victim ignored him and went back to his car.

But, Higareda followed him and started a fight. The victim was able to fight him off and get in his car to leave the gas station.

Higareda then got in his car and rammed the couple's car from behind as they waited for cross traffic to pass on McKinley Avenue.

That's when police say the couple got out of their car to see the damage, and as the suspect circled back around the gas station, police say he hit the couple.

The woman was dragged under the car, and police say the hit serious injured both victims.

"This is a very deliberate attack on both victims," police say.

Higareda has not yet been located and Fresno police ask anyone with information regarding the case and/or the suspect's whereabouts, to contact the Fresno Police Department at 559-621-7000.

You may remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 559-489-7867.
