Eugene Michael Dobarro Jr, 48, was shot and killed on August 6, 2021, at an apartment complex on Grassotti Court in Bakersfield, California. Officers found Dobarro and Asia Breann Blair with fatal gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene. Dobarro was the property’s night manager and had reportedly confronted the suspect the day before the killings.

Bryson Blair, 35, was identified as the primary suspect. Reports say he allegedly broke into the complex that night, confronted Dobarro and Asia Blair, and fled after the shooting. Witnesses described prior harassment of Asia Blair and threats made by Bryson Blair. The suspect has prior convictions for spousal abuse, battery, and robbery; he has pleaded not guilty to charges including two counts of first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and resisting a peace officer, and is being held without bail. Evidence referenced in reports includes witness statements and video footage that investigators say contradict the suspect’s account.

What can anyone who knew Eugene, his work at the complex, or the neighborhood tell investigators about the days leading up to August 6, 2021?
