Darrell Edwards, 54, of Los Angeles was shot and killed on May 24, 2017, while stopped at a red light at Imperial Highway and South Western Avenue in Westmont.

A man from the rear passenger seat exited with a gun, walked to the front passenger side of Edwards’ car and shot him through the open window. Edwards was struck in the torso, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead at 7:25 p.m.

Edwards was married, lived in Downey, and had grown up in Westmont, which he visited frequently. No motive has been determined and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.
