Terrell Love Russell was 19 when he was shot dead on April 24, 2017, in the 9500 block of South Western Avenue in Gramercy Park, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records say he was standing in front of a house when two men approached, exchanged a brief conversation with him, then both opened fire. A passerby found Russell and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:20 p.m.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division took over the investigation. Detectives described the two suspects as black men but released no identities or motive; no immediate arrests were reported. The case remained open and unsolved as investigators continued to seek leads.
