Philip Osby, a 59-year-old man from Los Angeles, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of September 12, 2017. He was found in an alley near the 2600 block of West Vernon Avenue in Leimert Park, near his 2016 black Hyundai Accent, which investigators believe was taken during the shooting. The car had paper plates bearing the letters WIN and reportedly had an Uber sticker on the front and rear windows, though Osby had not driven for the company recently because his account was suspended.

Osby was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:06 a.m., according to coroner records. Detectives say it is unclear why he was in the alley or what he was doing by his vehicle around 2 a.m., and no motive has been established. The LAPD has not identified any suspects or made arrests; investigators have asked for witnesses to come forward and have provided a tipline for anonymous information.

Does anyone have information about Osby, his movements that night, or who might have been in that area around 2 a.m.?
