On June 15 at 11:38 p.m., a 2013 Chevrolet Impala driven by a 21-year-old man struck and killed Carissa Marie Sileo—a 34-year-old bicyclist riding without lights—on Roberts Lane near Plymouth Avenue in Bakersfield; police said alcohol or drugs were not suspected in the crash.

A preliminary hearing began in east Bakersfield in the murder case of Robert Overdevest, who died three days after being shot on July 18 last year, with Ashley Ruiz—39, Rhys Casterline—23, and Gabriel Valle—25 accused during an argument as Ruiz admitted she only meant to scare him and all three are held without bail.

The project, developed by Rexco in partnership with World Oil, will hire local construction workers to boost our local job market.
