Eronald Deas III, an 18-year-old from Long Beach, California, was shot and killed on October 6, 2019 near East 69th Way and Muriel Avenue. Coroner’s records show he was found on a sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 7 p.m. The Long Beach Police Department reported Deas was walking north across the intersection when multiple individuals approached and fired several rounds. The motive was initially unclear; investigators later determined the attack was gang-related, and stated Deas himself was not affiliated with a gang.

Over the following year investigators identified and arrested multiple suspects. On August 20, 2020, a multi-location operation serving eight search warrants in Los Angeles, Bellflower, Anaheim and Fullerton resulted in several arrests, including Stevie Ray Deal, John Amos Jackson, Curtis Jackson, and Jaquan Adams, each held on $2,000,000 bail. On October 8, 2020, an arrest was made in Las Vegas when 18-year-old Kumari Powell was taken into custody, extradited to Long Beach, and charged with murder. The case was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration.

Does anyone have additional information about Deas’s movements that evening or about witnesses near East 69th Way and Muriel Avenue?
