Ridgecrest, Calif. — Ridgecrest Police officers arrested a Ridgecrest man in connection with an alleged shooting Monday evening at trailer park in the 1500 block of North Norma Street.
Officers arrested Alexander Aguilera in the front lobby of the Ridgecrest Police Department shortly after 8 p.m. when he turned himself in.
He is charged with first-degree murder.
Officers responded to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. and found the deceased outside the trailer.
The victim was not identified as of press time.
Sgt. Justin Dampier said Aguilera was a resident of the trailer.
The shooting is believed to be a result of a domestic dispute between Aguilera, the deceased and a female. The female reportedly once resided at the trailer.
The vehicle, a Toyota pickup, which belonged to the female at the scene, was found in the desert area near Highway 395.
The investigation is ongoing, Dampier said.
Aguilera was booked into the Central Receiving Facility in Bakersfield.
This was the third murder in the Indian Wells Valley in less than a year, dating back to a murder-suicide last October.
The second homicide occurred in Inyokern.
