BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 A McFarland resident was arrested for allegedly shooting a man and leading officers on a pursuit.<\/p>\n
The McFarland Police Department said on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at around 1:54 a.m., officers were called to a report of a shooting that had happened in the 300 block of San Pedro Street.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they talked to witnesses who reported that 38-year-old Fernando Cisneros had been at a home earlier, causing a disturbance.<\/p>\n

Several hours later, officers found Cisneros in his vehicle near Frontage Road and 3rd Street in McFarland.<\/p>\n
When officers attempted to talk to him, Cisneros drove off, initiating a short vehicle pursuit. The pursuit ended when Cisneros surrendered without further incident.<\/p>\n
A search of Cisneros\u2019 vehicle resulted in the recovery of a gun believed to have been used in the shooting. Cisneros was taken into custody and later booked into the Lerdo Justice Facility.<\/p>\n
The victim was taken to Kern Medical for treatment of a gunshot wound and is expected to recover.<\/p>\n
