Millard Frazier Jr., 22, of Bellflower was shot and killed on February 1, 2018 during a backyard barbecue in the 17200 block of Balfern Avenue. An argument at the gathering escalated into a physical altercation and one attendee produced a gun and shot Frazier in the torso. Panic followed and many people fled the scene.

Investigators identified a suspect and arrested 23-year-old Dion Antwon Trotter of Compton later that evening on suspicion of murder. Trotter was charged with murder on February 9, 2018; his arraignment was scheduled for March 9, 2018 and later continued to March 23, 2018 at the Los Angeles County Superior Court Norwalk Courthouse. Authorities asked anyone with additional information to come forward, offering anonymity through Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone who attended that barbecue or who was in the neighborhood on February 1 have information that could help clarify what led to the shooting?
