The 16-year-old was shot and killed on April 23, 2006. Wendale was in his car with a friend when another vehicle rolled up and one of the occupants opened fire, hitting and killing the 16-year-old.

According to Bakersfield Police, the suspect vehicle was described as a 1980s or 1990s Thunderbird. 

No arrests were made and the case is considered a cold case.
