Bakersfield, California: Two Arrested in Sacramento in Deadly Halloween Party Shooting on Rosedale Highway

Two men have been arrested in Sacramento in connection with a deadly shooting at a Halloween party in northwest Bakersfield, the Kern County Sheriff's Office said. The shooting killed an 18-year-old woman and wounded two other people.

The arrests

The sheriff's office arrested Mario Izrael Leon, 21, and Giordan Crompton, 19, at Sacramento State at around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, FOX40 reported. Both men are awaiting extradition to Kern County, according to the sheriff's office.

Leon faces charges of murder, attempted murder, robbery and gang-related offenses. Crompton faces robbery and gang-related charges. The charges are allegations, and both men are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

The shooting

The shooting happened at a Halloween party in the 4,000 block of Rosedale Highway in northwest Bakersfield. Judisbeth Silva, 18, of San Fernando, was killed. Two other people were wounded. The sheriff's office has not released the names or conditions of the two wounded people in the reports reviewed for this article.

Deputies have not announced a motive in the reports reviewed, and the investigation is ongoing.

A separate Halloween killing in the same city

The Rosedale Highway case is a Kern County Sheriff's Office investigation, and it is separate from a second deadly shooting at a Bakersfield Halloween party the same weekend. In that case, Bakersfield police said a 16-year-old boy was shot at a party in the 3,500 block of South Half Moon Drive at about 3:35 a.m. on November 1, was taken to a hospital and died. Police said the suspects in the Half Moon Drive shooting were still outstanding in their last update, and the Kern County Coroner's Office was set to release the teenager's name. The two cases involve different agencies, different neighborhoods and different victims, and officials have not linked them.

What is not yet known

The sheriff's office has not said in the reports reviewed what led deputies to Sacramento State, whether the two men are students there, or what evidence connects them to the Rosedale Highway party. No motive has been announced. The names and conditions of the two wounded people have not been released, and no court date in Kern County has been announced. Those details are expected to come after the extradition, when the men are booked into a Kern County jail and the charges are filed in court.

What happens next

Leon and Crompton are expected to be brought back to Kern County to face the charges in court. Anyone with information about the shooting can contact the Kern County Sheriff's Office.
