James Lee Chambers, a 55-year-old Los Angeles resident, was fatally shot on November 9, 2019, around midnight in the 1700 block of West 24th Street in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood. Coroner records say he was standing in the area when an unknown assailant fired from behind a tree; the shooter was seen fleeing south on South Congress Avenue from West 24th Street. Chambers died at the scene despite first responders’ efforts.

Chambers was remembered by his sister, Patrice Chambers, as generous and community-minded — someone who loved to dance, encouraged local youth to do well in school, and cooked food for people at the neighborhood park. The LAPD announced a $50,000 reward on August 17, 2020, for information leading to an arrest, but no arrests have been made and the shooter’s identity remains unknown. Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone in Adams-Normandie remember seeing activity or a person fleeing the area that night?
