BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Just over three months ago, Felipe Neri was shot and killed outside a home in east Bakersfield. His family still does not have justice.

“… He [Neri] was a coach he went to all of his kids’ cheerleading games, football games … he cheered on all the kids,” Gomez said. Gomez says he was a father of seven.
Gomez says the family just wants peace, justice and a “fair day in court.”
