Cole Haywood, a 39-year-old Los Angeles resident, was fatally shot on September 26, 2021, near 823 E. 116th Street in the Green Meadows neighborhood. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound.

Investigators linked Haywood’s killing to gang-related activity tied to the Kitchen Crips in South Los Angeles. In February 2022, prosecutors charged nine people — Tyreece Brown, Jahzanee Jervean Cruz, James Patterson, Mario Gonzalez, Tony Gonzalez, Darryl Jones, Matthew Louis Mouton, Luis Felipe Muratalla, and Alexander Padilla Yates — in a broader case alleging multiple crimes, including six homicides, shootings, murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Law enforcement carried out multiple raids as part of the investigation, and families affected by the violence were offered trauma-informed services.

Does anyone have information about Haywood, his movements that night, or the Green Meadows area that could help clarify what happened?
