HOMICIDE IN EAST BAKO

A transient is dead and police are looking for the killer in east Bakersfield.Officers were called to Baker Street, north of California Avenue around 11:00 AM Wednesday on a report of a man down outside a building. The man, believed to be in his 60’s, was dead at the scene with obvious signs of upper body trauma. A large amount of personal items had investigators determining he was likely a transient, so they began talking to homeless in the area to see who may have known him and if anyone had issues with the unidentified victim.
