BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Two brothers who worked for their father's bail bond business have been shot to death while trying to confront a customer who had skipped bail on a drug paraphernalia charge.
Bakersfield-area news media reported Friday that 23-year-old Zachary Daniel Sims and his older brother, 26-year-old Brandon Nicholas Sims, were shot to death Thursday night outside a home they were staking out.
An unidentified spokeswoman for Bad Dog Bail Bonds told the Bakersfield Californian that the two men were the sons of the company's owner.
Bakersfield Police Sgt. Mary DeGeare says one brother was found in the front yard with a single gunshot wound. The other was found inside the home and had been shot multiple times, a local TV station reported.
Police say two suspects remain at large.
