Majarion Foust was 19 and a resident of West Covina, California, when he was fatally shot on November 2, 2022. The shooting occurred at the Walnut Ridge Apartments on South Sentous Avenue. West Covina police responded to reports of gunfire around 10:45 p.m. and found Majarion and his cousin Maliki Foust Jr. both with gunshot wounds. Maliki was pronounced dead at the scene; Majarion was taken to a hospital where he later died.

Investigators say the two cousins were ambushed while sitting in a carport parking lot. Police released surveillance footage that shows a 19-year-old cousin, identified as Michael Mariano Jr., approaching the carport shortly before the shooting, though the footage does not capture the shooting itself. Authorities described the attack as premeditated and not gang-related, indicating a possible personal motive, and labeled Mariano the prime suspect. The West Covina Police asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Majarion, Maliki, or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with investigators.
