Billy Blount, 35, was found shot to death on September 1, 2019, in a green SUV near West 89th Street and South Grand Avenue in the Broadway-Manchester area of Los Angeles. Residents reported hearing what could have been gunshots around 2 a.m., but no one called police then; a passerby discovered the vehicle with two lifeless people inside at about 8 a.m. Paramedics pronounced Blount and the other victim, 34-year-old Eric Jones, dead at 8:15 a.m.

Investigators say it remains unclear whether the shots were fired from the sidewalk or from another vehicle, and neither man was affiliated with any gangs. The LAPD has not announced any arrests or identified suspects and is asking for witnesses to come forward; Crime Stoppers is available for anonymous tips.

Anyone who knew Billy, Eric, or who may have been in the area that morning and has information is asked to contact the LAPD with what they know.
