Stabbing in Courthouse Park | Fresno News

A Fresno County prosecutor was brutally stabbed multiple times in Courthouse Park by a man he once prosecuted—42-year-old Dustin Crawford, who had a violent history dating back a decade. Security footage shows Crawford deliberately approached the victim from behind, revealing a targeted attack. Despite his past drug use and mental health struggles, officials confirm Crawford had the capacity to plan the assault. The prosecutor survived with no vital organs hit and is recovering, though emotionally scarred. The DA used the incident to spotlight a statewide crisis: the lack of accountability for repeat violent offenders, urging systemic change before another tragedy strikes.
