MacVell Holmes, 26, was shot and killed on November 5, 2017 while sitting in his car outside his apartment complex on Somerset Boulevard in Paramount, California. The shooting occurred at about 1:40 p.m. when a man in a red Lexus approached and attempted to carjack Holmes’ vehicle; Holmes was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterward.

Holmes worked as a mental health technician at College Medical Center in Long Beach for more than five years and is remembered by family as hardworking and generous. He is survived by a 5-year-old daughter and the grandmother who raised him. Investigators say the suspected shooter fled in the Lexus and was later linked to a series of violent crimes the same day, including additional carjackings and assaults.

If anyone knew MacVell Holmes, saw the red Lexus or the red Mustang on November 5, 2017, or has information about the events that afternoon, please come forward.
