Bruce Hollis, 52, was killed on January 6, 2018, outside the Westfair Lounge in Bakersfield, California. A physical altercation between Hollis and 41-year-old Charles Tomlin escalated; police say Hollis shot Tomlin multiple times, and Tomlin later died at a hospital. After the shooting Hollis tried to flee in a vehicle and was intercepted and shot multiple times by 24-year-old Terrance Wiley. Hollis died at the scene from his wounds.

Investigators described the incident as gang-related. The Bakersfield Police Department arrested Terrance Wiley after a brief pursuit and charged him with second-degree murder, illegal firearm possession, participation in a criminal street gang, felony evading, and driving without a license. Community members were asked to provide any additional information that might help the investigation.

Were there witnesses who saw what led to the initial fight outside the Westfair Lounge or who can clarify how events unfolded that night?
