John Andrew Genis III, 30, was one of two brothers killed in a pre-dawn shooting on December 14, 2019, in Bakersfield, California. He and his twin, Jules William Genis, were found on Butte Street at about 5:08 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds and were taken to Kern Medical, where they were pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Bakersfield Police responded after a ShotSpotter activation and opened a homicide investigation. There were no immediate suspects or arrests, and investigators urged the public to provide information. The community held a candlelight vigil for the twins.

The investigation is ongoing and authorities continue to seek leads. Does anyone have information about that early morning on Butte Street or the brothers’ activities before the shooting?
