Roger Archer Jr., 33, was shot multiple times and killed in Oildale, a neighborhood of Bakersfield, on January 19, 2020. Deputies with the Kern County Sheriff’s Office responded about 3:21 a.m. to a shooting on Beardsley Avenue near Plymouth Avenue and found Archer Jr. suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Kern County Coroner ruled the death a homicide. The shooting occurred inside the Maines Trailer Park; family members held a vigil and organized a car wash fundraiser to help with funeral costs.

Investigators say Archer Jr. was with his girlfriend when two individuals approached and shot him. In late April 2020 authorities arrested 29-year-old Jessie Lee Lamb on charges including murder in connection with the killing; Lamb was taken into custody on April 30, 2020, with arraignment scheduled shortly afterward. The Kern County Sheriff’s Office has asked anyone with information to come forward.
