Serenity Zanae Gershon, a 21-year-old Black woman, was shot and killed on January 18, 2022, in the Harbor Gateway area of Los Angeles near the Gardena border. Public reports say she was traveling north on South Ainsworth Street near West 155th Street about 11:20 a.m. when a man exited a nearby vehicle and opened fire. The attack occurred in daylight on a city street; at least one other person was in the car and a 2-year-old in the back seat was not injured.

After being shot, Serenity managed to drive the vehicle to a nearby intersection area before dying from her injuries. Early investigators sought to determine whether Serenity or another occupant had been the intended target; surveillance images were released as police asked the public for help. The LAPD homicide listing notes she was found deceased after being shot and set on fire and indicates an arrest has been made, though the public page does not name a suspect or give details about charges or court proceedings.
