Richard Oscar O’Dell, 37, of Wilmington, California, was shot and killed on April 7, 2018, around 1 a.m. in the 1500 block of McDonald Avenue. Coroner’s records say he was standing alone when shot; accounts differ on whether the shooter approached on foot or fired from a vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene at about 1:30 a.m. and the motive was initially unknown.

The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the killing and on May 10, 2018, detectives arrested two men: Andrew Nicholas Ramos, 23, of Long Beach, and Edgar Perez, 29, of Wilmington. Both were charged in connection with O’Dell’s murder. The case drew attention locally as part of broader concerns about gun violence.

If anyone remembers Richard O’Dell that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to the authorities.
