BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — BPD is searching for a man they believe shot at a victim after an altercation.

According to BPD, on October 17 around 5:50 a.m., the suspect allegedly assaulted a victim during a physical altercation in the 900 block of Flower Street in East Bakersfield. Immediately after the altercation, the suspect pulled out a firearm and shot at the victim. The victim was able to flee the area without injury.
