Claude Dallas Baker Jr., 36, was killed on September 7, 1987, while working at a Shell gas station on White Lane in Bakersfield, California. Bradley shot Baker in the back, and after Baker collapsed and attempted to crawl away, Bradley approached to within about three feet and fired a fatal blast from a 12-gauge shotgun into Baker’s right ear, killing him instantly.

Bradley was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, robbery, and firearm enhancements. A jury later convicted him on those charges and imposed a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The family of Baker has been left to cope with the sudden, violent loss of their loved one.

Are there readers who remember the Shell station or the neighborhood around White Lane in 1987 and can share any details that might add to the record?
