Troy Darnell Washington, 52, was shot and killed on October 24, 2017, in the Vermont‑Slauson area of South Los Angeles. He was standing on the corner near West 57th and South Figueroa streets at about 8:40 p.m. when an argument with a person across the street escalated. The other person produced a gun and shot Washington. He ran north on Figueroa but collapsed shortly after and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:31 p.m.

The shooter fled on foot, heading west on West 58th Street. Motive for the dispute is unclear. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating, no arrests have been announced, and the suspect remains at large; Crime Stoppers has been offered as a way to report tips anonymously. Washington’s death affected his community, which has mourned his loss.

Did anyone in the area on the evening of October 24, 2017 see or hear something that could help identify the person who fled?
