Michelle Elizabeth Diaz, 19, of Hawthorne, California, was killed in a drive-by shooting on November 21, 2020, in Westmont, Los Angeles County. Deputies and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner report she was shot near 1439 W. 106th Street at about 7:24 p.m.; she suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to investigators, she was standing in front of a residence with her boyfriend when a vehicle carrying four men drove by and one of the occupants opened fire. No suspects have been arrested and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has asked anyone with information to come forward.

The family and community have held vigils and memorials while the investigation continues; a lack of eyewitnesses and concrete leads has complicated the inquiry. Does anyone who was in the Westmont area that evening have information that could help bring justice for Michelle?
