A portion of a major Fresno street was blocked off Tuesday morning amid a standoff between Fresno officers and a domestic violence suspect.

Officers responded to a domestic violence call at the 4500 block of E. Fountain Way around 3:30 a.m., Fresno police spokesperson Sgt. Diana Trueba Vega said

Officers removed the victim from the area and received information that the suspect was armed with a weapon, Trueba Vega said.

When officers made entry, they did not locate the suspect.

Officers identified the suspect as Dehvaun Delagente Sanders-Holguin, 20, of Fresno.

Sanders-Holguin faces charges including felony domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats, false imprisonment and brandishing of a firearm.

Officers blocked off a portion of Shields Avenue located between State Route 168 and Maple Avenue amid the investigation.

A BearCat armored vehicle was on the scene, along with crisis negotiators.

Authorities have recovered a gun but should be cautious if interacting with Sanders-Holguin, Trueba Vega said.
