BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — A man accused of killing two women in Southeast Bakersfield in 2020 is set to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Monday, November 28th.
Adrian "Angel" Chavez is facing two first-degree murder charges in connection to two separate killings.
On July 26th, 2020, officers from the Bakersfield Police Department found a woman dead on South Union Avenue while responding to an assault call. She was later identified as 36-year-old Crystal Hernandez.
Three months later, the body of an unidentified woman was found dead on Daniels Street by a city code enforcement officer. Officials say Chavez was identified as a suspect and arrested at an encampment in the area of Planz Park in December of last year.
