Derald Bernard Loadholt, a 41-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on October 12, 2020, in Los Angeles near 7827 S. Western Ave in the Manchester Square neighborhood. Surveillance video captured Loadholt parking his Mercedes on Western Avenue and a BMW following and then pulling up; the footage shows the assailant firing multiple rounds. Loadholt died at the scene.

Investigators described the BMW as having followed Loadholt’s vehicle, suggesting the shooting was targeted and premeditated. The suspect or suspects fled immediately after the shooting, and surveillance images did not provide a clear visual identification, complicating efforts to identify those responsible. The Los Angeles Police Department opened an active investigation and urged anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the Manchester Square area remember seeing a Mercedes and a BMW together around the evening of October 12, 2020, or have other information that could help identify the shooter or shooters?
