Donnelle Ali Taufaao was 20 when he was shot and killed on March 17, 2018, in Carson, California. The shooting happened about 9:45 p.m. outside a strip mall liquor store in the 600 block of East University Drive. Taufaao was speaking with a man seated in a car; witnesses said the conversation grew heated, and people inside the store retreated. Moments later gunshots rang out and Taufaao was found on the ground and pronounced dead at 10 p.m.

The gunman was described only as a Latino adult who fled in a light-colored sedan. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department led the investigation and has appealed for witnesses, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Few detailed descriptions of the shooter or vehicle have been released, which investigators say has complicated the probe.

If anyone saw the interaction outside the liquor store that night or has information about the vehicle or the man in the car, contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers.
