Royce Leon Lanham, 62, was found dead in the backyard of his Harbor Gateway home in Los Angeles on September 12, 2018. His body was wrapped in plastic and wire; the Los Angeles County coroner listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death. Neighbors reported seeing a woman dragging a large object wrapped in plastic into the yard, which led police to the scene.

Investigators determined the fatal injury occurred during an altercation inside the residence and identified Lanham’s roommate, 39-year-old Kristen King Olson, as a suspect. Olson was arrested after initially barricading herself inside the home and was charged with one count of murder with an allegation of using a handgun. Reports say Lanham had been trying to evict Olson because of erratic behavior; the motive for the killing had not been established publicly.

Did anyone in Harbor Gateway see or hear anything in early September 2018 that might help clarify what happened?
