Doanovan Dequan Foreman, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in the early hours of June 12, 2021, near 1423 E. Imperial Hwy in Watts, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene; the coroner ruled the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds sustained during a violent altercation.

The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation and canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and reviewed surveillance footage, but investigators reported difficulty progressing due to a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses, possibly out of fear of retaliation. The community responded with vigils and marches to honor Foreman and to call for greater safety and accountability in a neighborhood affected by frequent violent crime.

Who in Watts has information about the shooting or about Foreman’s movements that morning?
