Jessica Lorraine Arevalos, 26, of Lompoc, California, was fatally shot on April 5, 2025, in the parking lot of Blue Clouds Market on Wible Road in Bakersfield. Deputies from the Kern County Sheriff’s Office responded at about 11:00 p.m.; Arevalos was found with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second woman was also shot and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The market parking lot and parts of Wible Road were temporarily closed while deputies secured the scene. The Kern County Coroner confirmed Arevalos’ identity and homicide detectives took over the investigation. Initially no suspect information was released, but on April 14, 2025, 20-year-old Tyree Buckley was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and attempted murder and booked without bail; he is accused of fatally shooting Arevalos and wounding the other victim.

Anyone who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Kern County Sheriff’s Office or submit an anonymous tip to Kern Secret Witness.
