Zachary Estevan Morrison, 28, was shot and killed on May 28, 2018, in the 12100 block of 207th Street in Lakewood, near Artesia High School’s sports fields. Neighbors reported hearing what they first thought were fireworks around 9:40 p.m.; Morrison was found lying in the parkway between the sidewalk and curb and was pronounced dead at 9:55 p.m. on his 28th birthday. The coroner listed the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say Morrison had been walking in the area, about 1.5 miles from his home. There were no immediate descriptions of the shooter or whether the suspect was on foot or in a vehicle; ear witnesses who heard the shots were cited as the only leads. The Sheriff’s Department noted Morrison had ties to a Lakewood gang, but it was unclear if the killing was gang-related. No arrests have been announced and the homicide bureau and Crime Stoppers are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the area that night see someone leaving the scene or hear anything that could help investigators?
