Kern County Prosecutors Charge Two Men With Murder After Victim Run Over

A man who was left unconscious in a Kern County roadway after an assault in June 2025 was later killed when he was run over, and on Feb. 23, 2026 Kern County prosecutors filed murder charges against two men in connection with the case. Court records list one defendant as Alberto Felix and identify a second man as a co-defendant; the filings tie both to the June 2025 assault and the subsequent death.

The charging documents lodged by Kern County prosecutors on Feb. 23, 2026 allege that the assault in June 2025 left the victim incapacitated and lying in the roadway before the fatal run-over occurred. The paperwork states the prosecution seeks to hold the two men criminally responsible for the death that followed the June incident. Those documents were entered into the county court record under the county prosecutor’s authority.

Court records specified Alberto Felix by name and described the other defendant only as a second man identified in the same filings; no additional defendant names or aliases appear in the public court entries released with the Feb. 23, 2026 filing. The charges filed by Kern County prosecutors are categorized as murder counts linked directly to the sequence of events in June 2025 - the initial assault, the victim being left unconscious in the roadway, and the later run-over that caused the fatality.

The Feb. 23, 2026 filing ends a span of more than half a year between the June 2025 assault and the formal murder charges. Kern County’s move to charge Alberto Felix and the unnamed co-defendant brings the case into the county criminal justice system; the court records from Feb. 23, 2026 form the basis for prosecutorial action and outline the timeline investigators attribute to the assault and the subsequent death. Further procedural dates and additional factual disclosures were not included in the Feb. 23, 2026 court filings available in Kern County records.
