LOS ANGELES— Detectives were investigating a possible domestic violence motive after a gunman shot on Sept. 14, and killed his ex-wife and four others before killing himself during a nearly 40-minute rampage in Southern California, authorities said.
Javier Casarez fatally shot himself as a deputy closed in on him after the killings in Bakersfield, about 90 miles north of Los Angeles, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said on Sept. 14.
