Lorenzo Thompson, a 50-year-old Los Angeles resident, was shot and killed on the evening of September 12, 2020, near 4122 S. Western Ave. in the Vermont Square neighborhood. The Medical Examiner-Coroner reported he was shot multiple times and died shortly after the shooting. Reports describe the attack as targeted, though the precise motive has not been established.

Witnesses heard gunfire and saw a vehicle fleeing the scene. The LAPD investigation identified several suspects; Michael Jamel Jackson, 30, was arrested and charged with Thompson’s murder. Jackson’s arrest reportedly helped investigators link other individuals to the case. Thompson’s family has also filed civil suits related to his death.
