On the evening of July 22, 2018, Michael Wiggins, 39, and his 12-year-old daughter, Trinity Wiggins, were killed in a shooting at a residence in the 9000 block of Lupine Loop at Corwin Avenue in California City, California. Police say officers found Michael in a hallway lying in a pool of blood; Trinity was located inside the home and pronounced dead at the scene. Michael was taken to Antelope Valley Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators quickly focused on 32-year-old Desmond Perry as the primary suspect. Perry was accused of arriving in a black Nissan Altima armed with a Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifle after receiving a Facebook Messenger report from his cousin about threats from her boyfriend. Court documents and trial testimony state Michael confronted Perry at the door and Perry then fired multiple rounds into the home, one striking Michael in the chest and another hitting Trinity in the back.

Perry was arrested and charged with two counts of murder; his trial began in June 2019. The defense said Perry acted to protect his cousin and her children; the prosecution said his response was excessively violent and led to needless deaths. Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember that night and could add details about the events on Lupine Loop?
