Brian Greene was 34 and the father of three when he was killed on the afternoon of January 19, 2021. A carpenter described by family and friends as funny and loving, Greene lived in Palmdale, had grown up in Hawthorne, and worked in nearby Inglewood. He stopped at Jack’s Liquor Market on the 4700 block of West Imperial Highway and returned to his dark purple Infiniti M37 at about 4:10 p.m.

Investigators say a white sedan followed Greene from his home and parked beside him while he was inside the store. Surveillance footage and witness accounts indicate someone in the rear seat of that white car opened fire as Greene sat in his vehicle. He collapsed outside the car and died at the scene. The shooter’s vehicle — described as a white 2014 to 2015 BMW 320i with a large dent on the rear passenger-side bumper and other damage above the passenger-side right wheel well — fled west on Imperial toward the 405 Freeway.

The Los Angeles County Homicide Bureau assisted Hawthorne police, and a $10,000 reward was approved in June 2021. The motive remains unknown and no arrests have been announced. If anyone knew Brian, saw that BMW, or has information about the shooting, contact the LASD Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS?
