Adonis Tapia, 22, of Porterville, California, was killed in a drive-by shooting on January 2, 2020, just before 11 a.m. on the 700 block of East Success Drive. Tulare County sheriff’s deputies found Tapia with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators described the suspect vehicle as a dark-colored midsized import, later identified as a black 2006 Acura TL believed to have been abandoned soon after the shooting. The Sheriff’s Homicide and Forensic Units led the probe, which identified two suspects, brothers Jeremy Bailey, 20, and Christopher Corbit, 25, both from Porterville. With assistance from the Nebraska State Patrol and Utah Highway Patrol, deputies tracked the men into Nebraska and then Utah; they were located entering Utah on January 5, 2020, and were arrested after a non-injury car accident.

The motive has not been disclosed and the investigation remains active. If anyone has information about the Acura TL or the shooting, please share what is known with authorities.
