Ryan Washington was 18 and from Compton when he was found dead on August 12, 2018. His body was discovered at the intersection of North Magnolia Court and North Paulsen Avenue; the Los Angeles County coroner listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death. The incident happened in the early hours during heavy rain, and a man driving to work found Washington lying in the wet street and reported it.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department received reports of gunfire around 2 a.m., though those reports were a few blocks from where Washington was found, so the exact time and location of the shooting remain unclear. Investigators say Washington had been living on the streets and spending time in that area; his last known address was in Compton. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

Can anyone who was in that neighborhood that night or who knew Ryan share information that might help the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers?
