A Highland man who has spent 19 years behind bars for the 2003 murder of a Redlands teen that generated national media attention is up for his fourth parole hearing this month.
Damien Matthew Guerrero, 38, was convicted in 2008 of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Kelly Bullwinkle in a Redlands orange grove in September 2003. His parole hearing is scheduled for Jan. 31.
Guerrero and his accomplice, Kinzie Gene Noordman, 39, of Redlands, each took turns shooting Bullwinkle in the head before burying her in a shallow grave they had dug the day before in Live Oak Canyon, east of Alessandro Road. They later characterized the killing to police as a prank gone horribly wrong.
The murder of the Crafton Hills College freshman made national headlines because of the sensational nature of the killing and the Gothic subculture in which Guerrero, Noordman and Bullwinkle were immersed. It also triggered one of the most intensive homicide investigations in the history of the Redlands Police Department.

Nearly 20 years after Redlands teen Kelly Bullwinkle was fatally shot and buried in a shallow grave in a local canyon by two of her closest friends, the legacy of her brutal and calculated killing lives on.
The murder of the 18-year-old Crafton Hills College freshman made national headlines because of its sensational nature and the Gothic subculture in which Bullwinkle and her killers, Damien Matthew Guerrero and Kinzie Gene Noordman, immersed themselves.
The Bullwinkle murder case has been popular on television, spawning several episodes on true crime shows and a Lifetime movie called “I Killed my BFF.“
On Monday, March 27, a new one gets added to the list. “Goth Girl Gone,” a new episode on Investigation Discovery’s “Mean Girl Murders” series of true crime exploits, airs at 9 p.m.
“The gravity of this crime, and the waste of a promising life left unlived, make it hard to forget,” said the producers of “Mean Girl Murders” in an email. “It’s also a story so many of us can relate to — as young

Teen’s ‘Crush’ Was Fatal, Jury Told
Redlands college student Kelly Bullwinkle had an innocent crush on a former high school classmate, and because of it she was lured to a remote citrus grove and killed, a prosecutor told a San Bernardino County jury Wednesday.
Damien Guerrero and Kinzie Noordman, who are on trial for first-degree murder, say they accidentally shot Bullwinkle during a prank. When they made her stand by a freshly dug grave that night 16 months ago and pointed a handgun at her, it was merely a mock death threat, their attorneys argued.
“This was no joke,” said Deputy Dist. Atty. Jon Ferguson. “This was murder.”
Bullwinkle, a Crafton Hills College freshman and part-time waitress, was found dead in a shallow grave in San Timoteo Canyon three weeks after her disappearance.
Redlands police, who arrested Guerrero and Noordman about a month after Bullwinkle’s body was found, say they linked bullet casings at the scene to a gun used by Guerrero and unraveled a teenage drama that centered on a brief romantic relationship between Guerrero and Bullwinkle.
