Celenna Sanchez was 24 and a Bakersfield resident who died after being shot in the head on October 4, 2018; her body was found October 6, 2018. Court documents say she and another victim, Jessie James John, were shot by Louie Ricardo Perez, with the gun allegedly provided by Daniel Animas. Investigators report Perez and Animas returned to the scene the next day and tried to burn the bodies with rubbing alcohol.

Prosecutors say the killings stemmed from a dispute tied to drug dealings and money owed; Perez reportedly reacted after overhearing a negative comment about himself. Both Perez and Animas were already in custody on an unrelated December 4, 2018, murder charge and have faced multiple counts, including first-degree murder, with bail set at one million dollars each.

If anyone knew Celenna, Jessie, or has information about the events on Lomita Drive, please come forward.
