FRESNO, CA -- A man is in critical condition after an overnight shooting in Central Fresno.

Police say the victim was wearing multiple layers of clothes over a women's bra and panties. They said the bra was full of coagulated blood which contained the blood in his clothing.

After responding to a report of a shooting, police say they could not find a blood trail. Someone driving near Van Ness and Shields saw the victim stumbling on the road around 1 a.m. on Tuesday. When detectives arrived, they found the man with a gunshot wound to the chest.

"He wasn't cooperative, it might've been because of the gunshot wound. You know, not being able to talk to us. Not giving us a lot of information. So we're still trying to piece this together," said Mark Hudson, Fresno Police Department.

Detectives are still trying to figure out who pulled the trigger and where the shooting actually happened. They say the victim is a known gang member.
