Adam Sheldon Reed, 21, was shot and killed in the early hours of July 20, 2017, in the 1500 block of West 102nd Street in Westmont. Deputies responded to his home around 12:30 a.m. for an assault with a deadly weapon, found Reed with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and he was pronounced dead at 1:58 a.m. at a hospital.

Investigators say Reed was not involved in gang activity and the shooting was not connected to a burglary or robbery. Detectives believe Reed was the intended target rather than a random victim, but the motive remains unclear. No arrests or suspects have been identified and the Sheriff’s Department is asking the public for information.
