Abel Ibarra Trujillo, a 25-year-old resident of Bakersfield, California, was killed on December 6, 2014 in a daytime shooting near 8th and L Streets in Central Bakersfield. The shooting took place in broad daylight and has been linked to gang activity. Trujillo and another gang-affiliated man, Errol Scorza, exchanged gunfire; Trujillo sustained fatal injuries and a bystander was also shot but survived. The Bakersfield Police Department released surveillance footage showing the exchange of gunfire.

Authorities identified and arrested suspects soon after. Errol Scorza was arrested and in November 2015 accepted a plea deal that resulted in a 10-year prison sentence. A 19-year-old, Jimmy Ramirez, was arrested on charges including assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and gang participation. The case has been presented as part of ongoing efforts to address gang violence in the area.

Anyone with information about the December 6, 2014 shooting or its aftermath is asked to come forward.
