Timothy A. Blevins, a 63-year-old White man from Bakersfield, was one of two men found dead of apparent gunshot wounds on June 7, 2022, in the 700 block of Decatur Street in Oildale. Deputies arrived after a report that two men had been found with what appeared to be gunshot wounds; both victims were dead on arrival. The apartment complex where the deaths occurred was used by veterans, and neighbors described a tense atmosphere in the unit where the men were believed to be living in close quarters.

Initial reporting said both victims were shot in the head. Authorities arrested 80-year-old Guadalupe Mojica the next day on Chester Avenue; deputies reported finding him with a loaded .380-caliber handgun and later described a trash bag with a spent casing and suspected blood spatter on his clothing. He was booked on two counts of murder, denied bail at an early appearance, and later ordered to stand trial.

Did anyone in the Oildale area know either of the victims or have information about tensions at that apartment complex?
