According to court documents, Alberto Felix was in a car with two other suspects in June 2025, when the driver, 24-year-old Salvador Gutierrez, allegedly accelerated toward 34-year-old Justin Randle<\/a>, who was standing alone in a parking lot. Randle was struck and ran away.<\/p>\n

Court documents say Felix and Gutierrez then chased Randle toward 11th and H streets, where they allegedly beat him until he lost consciousness. Randle was left in the road and was later run over by an uninvolved driver.<\/p>\n

Randle was found on June 7, 2025, at around 2:44 a.m. in the 1100 block of H Street, said Bakersfield police. The Kern County coroner determined the following month that Randle died from blunt injuries and his death was ruled a homicide.<\/p>\n

Felix is due back in court on April 6, 2026, for another hearing.<\/p>\n

Police are still searching for Salvador Gutierrez, who is wanted for murder. Guiterrez is described as 5’11” tall with black hair and brown eyes.<\/p>\n
