Shaylaah Rochelle Brown, 26, of Compton was shot and killed on the night of June 14, 2020 while stopped at a red light near Dwight Avenue and Compton Boulevard. A person riding a homemade-style minibike approached her vehicle, opened fire and struck Brown in the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:25 p.m. A 2-year-old daughter was in the backseat and a man in the front passenger seat suffered a graze wound.

Witnesses reported the shooter fled north on Dwight Avenue. Authorities searched the homes of several boys and young men as part of the investigation, but the case remains unresolved. Family and friends described Brown as a devoted mother of two daughters, ages 8 and 2, and a healthcare aide who had recently begun working as a bus driver; they say they cannot think who would want to hurt her and suspect the attack was random.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the minibike rider is asked to contact investigators.
