Jules William Genis was 30 when he was killed in a double homicide on December 14, 2019, in Bakersfield, California. He and his twin brother, John Andrew Genis III, were found with multiple gunshot wounds on Butte Street early that morning, about 5:08 a.m., and were taken to Kern Medical where both were pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police say their response followed a ShotSpotter activation. The Bakersfield Police Department opened an investigation but had not identified suspects; no arrests are reported and detectives asked the community for tips. A secret witness hotline was set up and a candlelight vigil was held for the brothers.

Does anyone have information about the Genis brothers or that early-morning shooting on Butte Street?
