Robert Wayne Highhouse, 40, was shot and killed at about 5:30 p.m. on March 19, 2017, in the front yard of his Lawndale home in the 15000 block of Firmona Avenue. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. Coroner records and reports describe the killing as a suspected gang-related attack.

Investigators say the shooter fled in a red compact car. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau led the probe and appealed to the public for information, noting difficulties with witness cooperation and the complications common to gang-related cases.

The killing drew attention as part of broader concerns about gang violence in the area. Does anyone have information about Highhouse, the red compact car, or that neighborhood on March 19, 2017?
