The Bakersfield Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying and finding three men wanted for an assault on a man in central Bakersfield earlier this month that resulted in his death.
On Nov. 4, BPD said the suspects, described as three Hispanic men, assaulted Isaac Matthew Ortiz on the 200 block of Truxtun Avenue around 11:30 p.m.
