In the early morning of April 12, 2026, deputies from the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a shooting on the 19000 block of Road 196 in Strathmore, California. They found 53-year-old Darrell Kedrowski with a gunshot wound at about 1:15 a.m. Despite life-saving measures by deputies and emergency medical personnel, Kedrowski died at the scene and the death was ruled a homicide.

The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Detectives opened an investigation, but initial reports provided few details about a suspect or the circumstances that led to the shooting. Authorities publicly identified Darrell Kedrowski and asked the community for help; as of those reports no suspect had been arrested and the investigation remained active.

Does anyone in Strathmore or the surrounding area have information that could help investigators in this case?
