A 27-year-old Fresno man was sentenced to 100 years in state prison on Friday in Fresno County Superior Court for murdering his parents in 2022.
The crime took place on April 10, 2022 after officers responded to a shooting in the 6100 block of North Tenth Street.
Julian Charles McElhaney called dispatch to say he shot someone.

Officers arrived and found 55-year-old Wiliam McElhaney dead in the front yard and Sylvia McElhaney, 64, killed inside the home.
Julian McElhaney was detained and confessed to killing his parents following an argument at the home.
The victims’ nephew, Rudy Cruz, said in court, “the ripple effects of what you did will forever live in the rest of our lives.”
