Antonio Valadez, 50, of Bakersfield, California, was one of five people killed on September 12, 2018 in a targeted spree tied to domestic issues. The rampage began at T & T Trucking near Highway 58 and Weedpatch Highway, where the shooter confronted several people, including his ex-wife. Valadez tried to run from the scene; the shooter pursued him in a vehicle, tracked him down, and fatally shot him.

The shooter, identified as 54-year-old Javier Casarez, had already killed his 45-year-old ex-wife, Petra Maribel Bolanos de Casarez, and 50-year-old Manuel Contreras at the trucking business. Casarez then drove to a Breckenridge Road residence and killed 57-year-old Eliseo Garcia Cazares and his 31-year-old daughter, Laura Garcia. Deputies later encountered Casarez; he refused orders to drop his weapon and died by a self-inflicted gunshot, so no arrest followed.
