Eddie Raymond Bustamonte Sr., 45, was shot and killed on September 27, 2021, in Bakersfield, California. Officers responded about 10:39 p.m. to Jewett Avenue after Bustamonte was found with a gunshot wound; he died at the scene. The Bakersfield Police Department investigated the shooting and arrested two Bakersfield men, Emil Alvary, 38, and Angelo Rodriguez, 24.

Court documents describe a dispute tied to a personal relationship: Bustamonte’s estranged wife was on a video call with Alvary when Bustamonte entered the home, took his wife’s phone and left; gunshots were heard shortly afterward. Bustamonte ran back inside and collapsed. Both Alvary and Rodriguez admitted being at the scene and accused the other of firing the shots. Surveillance footage and a ShotSpotter activation placed a light gray Ford Explorer near the scene, and officers found a 9mm handgun during a search of Rodriguez’s vehicle.
