Fresno Police Seek Suspect After Uber Driver Shot During Ride

Fresno police investigators have identified Maurice Session as a suspect in a shooting that occurred inside an Uber vehicle in southwest Fresno on Nov. 27, 2025. Officers responded after a ShotSpotter activation reported multiple rounds in the area. The Uber driver suffered a grazing wound to the head and was treated for injuries following the incident.

Police say the suspect and a female companion were in the vehicle prior to the dispute that escalated into the shooting, and both left the scene after the incident. Investigators continue to piece together the timeline and circumstances of the argument that led to the gunfire. The department has described the investigation as ongoing and is seeking witnesses and tips that could help identify the events that preceded and followed the shooting.

For Fresno residents, the episode raises questions about safety for ride share drivers and passengers who spend long hours transporting people across the city. The use of ShotSpotter technology to alert officers to the gunfire played a role in the rapid police response, and prosecutors and community leaders will likely evaluate whether additional measures are needed to protect drivers and encourage reporting when disputes escalate.

Local drivers and passengers are likely to feel increased concern in the wake of the incident, and the case may prompt renewed conversations between ride share companies, drivers, and law enforcement about training, passenger screening, and emergency protocols. Police have asked anyone with information to contact the Fresno Police Department, and tips can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers.

As the investigation proceeds, authorities will determine whether additional charges are warranted and whether the female companion will face any legal action. The community response and cooperation with law enforcement will be important in locating the suspect and in addressing broader safety issues that affect Fresno County neighborhoods and the drivers who serve them.
