Jonah Min Hwang was an 8-year-old boy from Pomona who was killed in a drive-by shooting on February 20, 2017. Jonah was in the living room of a West 111th Street home with other children and adults when a car pulled up and someone opened fire. He was the only person struck, suffering a fatal head wound; Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel treated him on scene and took him to a hospital, where he died.

Residents said they had invited a family over for dinner and were not believed to have gang connections; the house had been targeted once before in the prior three weeks. Jonah had been adopted from an orphanage in Taiwan less than three years earlier and was remembered by his family for his infectious smile, love of sports, running and superheroes, and the joy he brought to the household. A fundraising page was set up to help cover funeral costs and support the family.

An arrest had been made and charges were filed in connection with the shooting. What details can anyone share about Jonah or that West 111th Street neighborhood that might help recall the night he was killed?
