The California Department of Justice is now investigating the deadly shooting as part of a state law that requires the agency to investigate officer-involved shootings that result in the death of unarmed civilians.
The confrontation escalated to the point where the agent fired his duty weapon, striking Sanchez. Despite the agent's efforts to perform life-saving measures, Sanchez died at the scene.
Following notification by local authorities, DOJ's California Police Shooting Investigation Team initiated an investigation in accordance with AB 1506 mandates.
Statements from CDCR and Fresno Police did not indicate what sparked the fight, or whether or not Sanchez was armed during the altercation.
