Junior Alfonzo Contreras, 23, was one of three people fatally shot during a late-night attack on August 6, 2014, in an apartment on Quincy Street in East Bakersfield, California. The other victims named were Zephaniah Matthews, 29, and Daniel Watkins, 22; a fourth person was shot and survived. Two masked men described as black male adults in dark clothing forced entry and opened fire just after 11:00 PM; witnesses or reports suggested the attackers fled on foot and may have left in a vehicle, but no vehicle description was available.

Family members and investigators say the victims had been working on music projects at the apartment, and there has been no indication the victims were involved in gang activity or drugs. The Kern County Sheriff’s Office has been unable to identify suspects or a clear motive, and no arrests have been announced. If anyone has information about the August 6, 2014 shootings or the identity of the masked attackers, please come forward.
