Antonio Lopez, 22, was shot to death on February 22, 2019, near the Casa De La Paloma Blanca Apartments on Haven Drive in Arvin, California. The Kern County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the head. Officers from the Arvin Police Department found Lopez deceased at the scene after responding to reports of shots fired just after midnight.

An 18-year-old, Javier Ramirez Cruz, was also shot in the same incident and later died at Kern Medical Hospital; his death was ruled a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. The double homicide prompted an immediate investigation, but the case remained unsolved a year after the shooting with no arrests or publicly identified suspects. Police asked the community to come forward and offered an anonymous tip line to share information.
