📍 1215 Truxtun Ave, Bakersfield, CA

The program will include guest speakers, a remembrance ceremony, and a traditional march in downtown Bakersfield. 🪧

“It will be a gathering filled with reflection, remembrance, and shared emotion,” commented District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer.

At this year’s event, we will honor victims commemorated through the Victims of Violent Crime Memorial, which holds thousands of names representing lives lost to violent crime in Kern County. 🕊️🤍 During the ceremony, DA Zimmer will add the names of victims from late 2025 and 2026 in the memorial’s capsule, as well as names submitted or amended by families following the prior November ceremony.

📣 Attendees are encouraged to bring personal memorabilia to honor their loved ones, including photographs, posters, and custom t-shirts.

📢 Help us honor the memory of all crime victims in Kern County! ⚖️🕊️

🚧 We are happy to announce that the construction of Kern County’s first-ever Victims of Violent Crime Memorial is nearing the end of construction. This meaningful tribute will stand as a lasting testament to those who have tragically lost their lives to unlawful murder and manslaughter within our community.

📲 While we’ve been able to obtain records that go past 100 years, we need your help in ensuring that no victim is overlooked. Families who have lost loved ones to violent crime are encouraged to visit www.kerncounty.com/DA/ to review the list of names. A contact form is provided for reporting any errors or omissions. All inquiries must be submitted by Wednesday, October 22, 2025. The criteria for inclusion in the ossuary can also be found on our website.

DA Zimmer will officially unveil the memorial at the upcoming Crime Victims’ Rights March & Candlelight Vigil event. Once construction progresses, we will announce a formal dedication date for this Fall. Look out for updates on our social media channels or website. 🌟
