Corey Jason Powers, 49, of Bakersfield, California, was shot and killed on July 3, 2018, after his car broke down near the intersection of Buena Vista and Harris Roads. He had worked in retail for many years, including over 18 years at Walmart before moving into a supervisory role at Target, and was reportedly looking forward to the Fourth of July holiday — his first day off in 13 years.

Witnesses said a silver SUV was seen in the area around the time of the shooting, but no suspects have been identified and the motive remains unclear. Family and friends describe him as a hardworking family man with no known enemies. The Bakersfield Police Department has had few leads and the investigation remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about Corey’s death or who saw a silver SUV near Buena Vista and Harris Roads on July 3, 2018 is asked to come forward.
