Nazeer Ejua Defares, 24, was found dead near Rosewood Avenue and Gardner Street in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles on February 26, 2021. Witnesses reported hearing two to three gunshots and discovered his body between two vehicles at about 6:40 p.m. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner recorded multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say Defares was the victim of a robbery; after shooting him the assailants threw his body from a moving vehicle. The next day an FBI task force working with the LAPD arrested two Georgia residents, Robert Aikens, 22, and Shidreyius McClinton, 20. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed murder charges; McClinton was held on $2 million bail and Aikens’s custody status was not immediately reported. Detectives are also looking into links with a string of armed robberies targeting pedestrians with high-end jewelry.

Does anyone have information about Defares’s movements in Los Angeles on February 26, 2021, or about the incidents near Melrose and Fairfax that evening?
