BAKERSFIELD, CA (KUZZ) — A Bakersfield man accused of killing a woman at an apartment complex in northeast Bakersfield pleaded not guilty Wednesday to murder, child cruelty, and domestic violence charges.
Victor Farias, 33, is accused of fatally stabbing Yoland Rojo, 30, at the Shadow Ridge Apartments in the 7000 block of College Avenue March 25, 2026. Rojo died at Kern Medical.
Authorities say Farias was captured by Tehachapi police the following day. His vehicle was found abandoned near Tehachapi in the area of Highway 58 and Tucker Road just after 11:30 p.m., on March 25, after an apparent hit-and-run crash.
Farias was denied bail. A criminal protective order was filed for him to stay away from two children he fathered with Rojo. He is due back in court on April 6, 2026.
