Charges Filed In Home Invasion Robbery - Officer Involved Shooting

Published on January 28, 2025

The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office filed charges today against Antwoine Mancia (43, of Sanger) and Amicho Mancia (37, of Fresno) for their involvement in the home invasion robbery, assault on a peace officer, and other felony charges from this past Sunday.

It is alleged that on January 26, 2025, Antwoine and Amicho Mancia and one additional perpetrator broke into the victim’s home, while armed with a gun, and removed a large safe and loaded it into their car. Fresno Police Department officers arrived on the scene and observed the driver enter the parked car and ordered him to stop. The driver, Amicho, ignored the order and drove the car toward the officer who fired several rounds defending himself and trying to stop the suspects. Antwoine and Amicho were able to flee the immediate location, and the car was observed driving onto Fresno State’s campus with multiple police cars in pursuit. Officers were able to act quickly to stop the car with the use of their patrol vehicles. The driver, Amicho, fled from the car and was running further into the campus area when a police canine was released and was able to subdue him. Amicho, who was wearing a bullet proof vest, was then placed into custody. The other suspect, Antwoine, was placed into custody without incident. The two officers responding to the call suffered minor injuries.

The Felony Complaint filed in the Superior Court alleges that Antwoine Mancia committed the following crimes:

• One (1) Count of ROBBERY [Penal Code §211];

• One (1) Count of RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY [Penal Code §459/460(a)];

• Three (3) Counts of FELON IN POSSESSION OF A FIREARM [Penal Code §29800(a)(1)];

• One (1) Count of POSSESSION OF AN ASSAULT RIFLE [Penal Code §30605];

• One (1) Count of FELONY CONCEALED FIREARM IN A VEHICLE [Penal Code §25400(a)(1)]

The Felony Complaint filed in the Superior Court alleges that Amicho Mancia committed the following crimes:

• One (1) Count of ASSAULT ON A PEACE OFFICER [Penal Code §245(c)];

• One (1) Count of HOME INVASION ROBBERY [Penal Code §211];

• One (1) Count of RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY [Penal Code §459/460(a)];

• Three (3) Counts of FELON IN POSSESSION OF A FIREARM [Penal Code §29800(a)(1)];

• One (1) Count of FELONY EVADING A PEACE OFFICER [Vehicle Code §2800.2(a)];

• One (1) Count of POSSESSION OF AN ASSAULT WEAPON [Penal Code §30605(a)];

• One (1) Count of FELONY CONCEALED FIREARM IN A VEHICLE [Penal Code §25400(a)(1)];

• Two (2) Counts of RESISTING AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER [Penal Code §69];

• One (1) Count of RESISTING ARREST [Penal Code §148(a)(1)]

If convicted of all charges and allegations, Antwoine Mancia faces up to 28 years in state prison and Amicho Mancia faces up to 47 years in state prison.

Both defendants, Antwoine Mancia and Amicho Mancia, were arrested on January 26, 2025, in Fresno, California and thereafter booked into the Fresno County Jail. The arraignment for the defendants is scheduled for January 29, 2025, at 8:30 am in Department 30 of the Fresno County Superior Court.
