At around 2:00 p.m. on August 15, 2023, he was teaching a class at Fresno County College when he allegedly said he would shoot the school’s students and officials, including Dr. Carole Goldsmith.
Shortly after, Madec was placed on administrative leave. Authorities began an investigation and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
In 2004, Goldsmith graduated from the University of California, Davis in Davis, Yolo County, California with a PhD in educational leadership and administration. She became president of West Hills College Coalinga in Coalinga, Fresno County in January 2013, the Fresno City College president in August 2016 and the State Center Community College District chancellor in January 2022.
At around 2:00 p.m. on October 13, 2023, Madec was arrested in Merced County. He was unarmed.
