On March 16, 2023, at about 6:07 p.m., Delano police responded to a report of a shooting and a vehicle crash at 8th Avenue and Ellington Street. Officers found 28-year-old Delano resident Daniel Rosiles with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later died from his injuries. Investigators say the shooting was believed to be gang-related.

Detectives interviewed witnesses, served multiple search warrants and collected evidence that led to the identification of two suspects: 21-year-old Carlos Elizalde and 18-year-old Anthony Vargas, both from McFarland. On July 5, 2023, both were formally charged with Rosiles’s murder; both were already in custody at the Kern County Jail on unrelated felony charges when charged. The Delano Police Department credited assistance from multiple local and state agencies during the probe.

Rosiles was a father of two; a GoFundMe was set up to help his family and funeral services were held in April 2023. Does anyone have information about the shooting or who else might have been involved?
