Daina Monroe was an 18-year-old volleyball standout from Inglewood, California, when she was killed in a drive-by shooting on October 18, 2021. She was sitting in a parked car outside her mother’s home on North Inglewood Avenue with her older sister and two friends when another vehicle pulled up and multiple shots were fired into their car. Daina was struck, taken to a nearby hospital by those with her, and died of her injuries; the other occupants were not injured.

The Inglewood Police Department continues to investigate but has reported few substantive leads. In hopes of encouraging tips, the Inglewood City Council and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors together offered a $45,000 reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of those responsible. Daina’s family has urged the public to come forward, and her father, Darrin Monroe, has spoken about the family’s grief; the family has also endured other recent losses to gun violence.

Are there any readers who knew Daina, were in that area on October 18, 2021, or have information that could help investigators?
