Walter Earl Morales was 30 and a Lawndale resident when he was fatally shot on September 5, 2021, after attending a party in a commercial area of Panorama City. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds lying in a parking lot near 14626 Titus Street; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Detectives recovered shell casings from different calibers at the scene, a detail investigators say could indicate multiple shooters. LAPD Valley Bureau homicide detectives were canvassing for surveillance video and other leads in the area as they continued the investigation.

No arrests had been announced. Does anyone who was in the Panorama City area that night or who has surveillance from nearby businesses have information that could help identify the shooters?
