Lavon Allen Wright Jr., 43, was shot and killed on November 5, 2019, in Watts. The shooting occurred about 12:50 p.m. in the 10300 block of South Compton Avenue while Wright was a passenger in a Jeep traveling south. A silver sedan pulled up alongside the Jeep and someone inside fired multiple shots into the vehicle, striking Wright. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:08 p.m., and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound.

The Los Angeles Police Department reported detectives determined the attack was not road rage but arose from a longstanding dispute, though they did not disclose further details. An arrest was made in the case: George Deon Murphy, 46, was charged with one count of murder and attempted murder, with allegations he used a handgun and discharged a firearm from a motor vehicle; he pleaded not guilty and had a court date scheduled for December 5, 2019. The LAPD asked the public for information and anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone who knew Lavon or was in the South Compton Avenue area that day have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
