The man wanted in connection to a deadly shooting in south Bakersfield over the weekend is due in court on Thursday.

Javier Saucedo is facing first-degree murder charges. 

On May 12, Bakersfield Police responded to Ginger Snap Lane and Stargaze Drive and found a man, identified as Edgar Barajas, in the roadway suffering from a gunshot wound. Barajas died at the scene. 

BPD says Saucedo's attorney contacted them Monday night to facilitate Saucedo's safe surrender.
