Ruben Antonio Garcia, 26, of Bakersfield was killed in a drive-by shooting on March 9, 2018, while attending a family gathering in the 1200 block of East 10th Street. Two other people were injured in the attack and Garcia was taken to Kern Medical, where he died.

The Bakersfield Police Department investigated the shooting. Anthony Michael Gage, 21 at the time, was arrested at a residence on Calcutta Drive and charged with murder, conspiracy, and participation in a street gang. Investigators say the vehicle drove past the gathering twice before gunfire struck those attending; authorities linked the incident to gang-related motives.

What did witnesses see that night, and who else might have information about the moments before the shooting?
