Fresno County Seeks Suspect in Attempted Burglary Case

Valley Crime Stoppers identified Daniel Robert Nelson as its Most Wanted Person of the Day on November 7, 2025 after authorities issued a felony warrant accusing him of attempted burglary. Nelson, born February 24, 1978, is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The warrant number is F22904566.

The warrant is a felony document that does not allow bail, which means Nelson could be held in custody while the case proceeds.

Tips that lead to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward.

For Fresno County residents, the alert is a reminder of the real human consequences of property crime and attempted break ins. Even when no one is physically harmed, attempts at burglary can leave lasting emotional and financial impacts. Families and small businesses often absorb the cost of repairs, replacements, and increased security measures. The repeated occurrence of such incidents exacerbates anxiety in neighborhoods already coping with housing insecurity and limited access to resources.

Public health and public safety intersect in these circumstances. The fear and stress generated by crime can affect sleep, work performance, and overall well being. Community trust in public agencies plays a central role in solving crimes, and anonymous tip lines can be a crucial tool where direct reporting is difficult. At the same time, reliance on tip driven responses underlines longer term needs for prevention strategies that address underlying social and economic drivers of property crime.

Local policy responses can include investment in programs that reduce economic strain, expanded support for victims, and collaborative community policing efforts that prioritize transparency and equity. Community organizations and local leaders also have a role in promoting safety practices such as improved lighting, secure locks, and neighborhood watch initiatives that build collective resilience.

Authorities continue to seek information about Daniel Robert Nelson and encourage anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to contact Crime Stoppers at 498 STOP or to submit an anonymous tip at valleycrimestoppers.org. Residents who feel unsafe or who have been affected by a burglary attempt are urged to report incidents to local law enforcement and to seek support from community resources.
