Deputies search for suspect in Bakersfield murder

Kern County Sheriff’s Deputies are searching for a man they say was involved in the shooting death of a man at a Bakersfield marijuana collective on July 4.

Deputies said Rudolph Romel Gibson is one of two men they believe was involved in the murder of Michael Dorrough. It was a shooting that left a woman wounded at the Mars Collective in the 2500 block of South Union Avenue in southeast Bakersfield. The second man, Troy Sanders, was taken into custody on July 28 at his residence by the sheriff’s gang unit.

Gibson, however, remains on the loose and is wanted on suspicion of murder, mayhem and gang charges. Gibson is described as a black male, 25 years old, 6-foot-1, 190 pounds and is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

The Kern County Sheriff’s Office is requesting assistance in locating Gibson and is requesting the public call 911 or Secret Witness at 661-322-4040 if Gibson’s location is known.
