Derek Wilson, a 61-year-old Black ironworker, was shot and killed on June 30, 2020, in Westmont, California. The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. while he sat in his white Subaru Outback in the 1600 block of West 107th Street. A dark-colored car pulled up, someone approached the driver’s side and fired multiple shots; Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Wilson’s family describe him as a peacemaker who had overcome substance abuse and was preparing to move back to the Chicago suburbs to be near family for the birth of his grandson. He had recently separated from his wife and was living with a friend, Christopher Harris, who called him a mentor and father figure. Investigators say Wilson was likely targeted but the motive is unclear; detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are asking the public for information.

Does anyone have information about Wilson, his movements that afternoon, or the dark-colored car seen at the scene?
