Maurice McKinzy, 45, was shot and killed on February 1, 2017, around 10:30 p.m. in the 7500 block of South Main Street in the Florence neighborhood of Los Angeles. He had been walking to his car after visiting friends when at least one person approached and opened fire, striking him multiple times. He was taken to hospital and pronounced dead at 10:54 p.m.; the coroner listed cause of death as gunshot wounds.

McKinzy worked as a traffic officer at Los Angeles International Airport and had coached basketball at John C. Fremont High School. He grew up in the neighborhood where he was killed and was remembered by family and friends as a dedicated father and mentor to a 19-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter. Investigators say the shooter was likely accompanied by others, though only one person fired; motive is unclear and he was not known to be involved in gang activity. No arrests have been announced and the LAPD Criminal Gang Homicide Division is handling the case.

Does anyone who knew Maurice or was in the area that night have information that could help investigators?
