Baraka Shakid Mccraw, 48, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of January 19, 2019, in the 2100 block of West Manchester Avenue in Manchester Square, Los Angeles. He was attending a party inside a business in a strip mall when an altercation among several attendees ended with Mccraw shot; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:05 a.m. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner‑Coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound.

The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation. Detective Dave Garrido said Mccraw was not affiliated with any gang, which initially ruled out gang-related motives. Investigators have sought witnesses, but at this stage there have been no arrests and detectives report a shortage of immediate leads and eyewitness testimony.

Does anyone who was in Manchester Square that night or who knew Baraka have information that could help investigators?
