Eric Allen Jones was 34 when he was found shot to death in a green SUV in the Broadway-Manchester area of Los Angeles on the morning of September 1, 2019. Residents later reported hearing sounds like gunshots around 2 a.m., but nobody called police then; a passerby discovered the vehicle at about 8 a.m. Paramedics pronounced Jones and another man, Billy Blount, dead at 8:15 a.m.

Jones, known as E, was a traveling barber and a devoted father, son, brother and friend who loved cooking, especially fried lemon pepper chicken wings. Neither victim was known to be involved in gang activity, and investigators have described the motive as unclear. No arrests have been announced and detectives are seeking witnesses.

If anyone in Broadway-Manchester that night remembers seeing the green SUV, hearing the shots, or has other information, please contact the Los Angeles Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
