On the night of August 6, 2014, three men were shot dead in an apartment in the 1700 block of Quincy Street in Bakersfield, California. Daniel Turrel Watkins, 22, was one of the victims; the others were 29-year-old Zephaniah Lee Matthews and 23-year-old Junior Alfonzo Contreras. A fourth occupant was critically wounded but survived. Neighbors heard multiple gunshots they initially thought were fireworks and tried to render aid, but the victims did not survive.

Two men wearing ski masks forcibly entered the apartment and opened fire, then fled on foot. The apartment was occupied by several adults and children at the time; none of the children were harmed. The Kern County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, but the motive and any connection between the shooters and the victims remained unclear and the suspects were still at large.

Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing suspicious activity around Quincy Street on August 6, 2014?
