Marbeli Castro-Garcia, 31, was shot and killed on July 21, 2019, in the 300 block of East Fairview Road in Bakersfield, California. She and 36-year-old Emilio Diaz Chavez were eating lunch at Rexland Acres Park when Gudelio Grande located them. Grande shot Castro-Garcia twice, killing her instantly, and then shot Chavez after chasing him on East Fairview Road.

Court records say Grande had assaulted Castro-Garcia three days earlier, which led her to leave and stay with a friend; she and the friend traveled to Los Angeles over the weekend and returned to Bakersfield shortly before the killings. Investigators found the murder weapon stashed in Grande’s work locker and DNA analysis linked him to the gun. Grande was arrested on August 1, 2019, after trying to evade capture and was found with a loaded stolen firearm.

If anyone knew Marbeli’s movements in Bakersfield that week or saw anyone at Rexland Acres Park on July 21, 2019, please share what you know.
