Laron Marcus Follings, 30, was shot and killed on January 5, 2021, while seated in his parked vehicle near 1526 E. 123rd Street in Willowbrook. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner reported he sustained multiple gunshot wounds and died shortly after the shooting, which occurred about 6:57 p.m.

Follings worked full time as a security guard and was studying for a real estate license. Family and friends described him as charismatic, with a bright smile. A witness heard the shots and saw a male near the center divider of East 123rd Street; that person then got into a newer-model black four-door sedan and fled eastbound. No arrests have been announced and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate.

The Board of Supervisors has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of those responsible. If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle and person seen leaving the scene, please contact the LASD or Crime Stoppers.
