Eddie Castro, 29, of Bakersfield, California, was shot during an altercation at a Fastrip gas station on Fairfax Road in Northeast Bakersfield on March 4, 2017. Officers found Castro with gunshot wounds and he died after being taken to a hospital.

Police identified two brothers, Victor Quintero, 25, and Joel Quintero, 26, as involved in the confrontation. Both were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and later charged in Castro’s death; court schedules in the case included preliminary hearings and multiple appearances as the legal process unfolded.

The shooting prompted a vigil at the gas station and drew attention in Bakersfield to community safety. Few public details remain about what led to the argument and who was present at the scene that night.

Did anyone witness the altercation at the Fastrip or have information about what sparked it?
