De Marco Ranklin, 32, was shot and killed in Leimert Park on April 19, 2017. He was sitting in the front passenger seat of a silver Ford pickup at the intersection of 8th Avenue and Stocker Plaza when a dark-colored sedan pulled up, a man exited and fired multiple shots into the truck. Ranklin got out of the vehicle, collapsed a short distance away, and was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:30 p.m.

The Los Angeles Police Department Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation. Detective Dave Garrido described the suspect as a black man. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved; authorities urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers for anonymity.

There is no clear motive reported and leads are described as limited. Does anyone have information about Ranklin, the shooting, or the dark-colored sedan that could help bring answers?
