On January 6, 2024, four members of the Bonds family were found dead at a Reedley, California, residence. Victims were 43-year-old Matthew L Bonds; his wife, 44-year-old Guadalupe Kiki Bonds; his father, 61-year-old Darrell Bonds; and his grandfather, 81-year-old Billy Bonds. Autopsies confirmed all four died from gunshot wounds.

Guadalupe and Billy were discovered in the backyard, Darrell was found buried in a shallow grave on the property, and Matthew’s body was located in a detached garage at a neighboring house. Investigators say a safe at the Bonds home had been pried open and emptied of firearms and currency, and authorities believe theft of those items was involved in the motive.

A 17-year-old male neighbor has been arrested and charged with four counts of homicide; police suspect he did not act alone and are searching for additional participants. The suspect’s mother, 34-year-old Brynn Curtis, and her boyfriend, 21-year-old Rafael Gonzalez, were arrested on accessory after the fact charges and released on bond. Reedley residents held a candlelight vigil attended by over 100 people to honor the family. If anyone has information about the incident or other possible participants, please share what is known.
