Jessie James John, 27, was found dead on October 6, 2018, at a residence on Lomita Drive in Bakersfield. He and 24-year-old Celenna Sanchez were discovered with fatal gunshot wounds to the head; the coroner confirmed gunshot wounds to the head as the cause of death. Initial reports said they were shot on October 4 and their bodies located two days later.

Court documents say two men, Louie Ricardo Perez and Daniel Animas, were implicated. According to those documents, Animas told detectives he watched Perez shoot both victims with a gun Animas had provided earlier that day. Motive is described as a dispute over drug dealings and money owed to Perez, and reports say Perez overheard one of the victims speaking negatively about him. Perez and Animas reportedly returned the next day and attempted to burn the bodies with rubbing alcohol. Both men were also in custody on separate homicide allegations from December 2018, and felony first-degree murder charges were filed in this case with bail set at one million dollars each.

Did anyone in Bakersfield know Jessie James John or Celenna Sanchez, or have information about their activities around October 4, 2018?
