Davion Gregory, 24, of Carson, California, was fatally shot during a crowded pay-to-enter pajama party at a commercial warehouse on West Victoria Street on December 10, 2016. Around 11:30 p.m. Gregory and two friends were struck by gunfire as they approached the venue entrance. Gregory was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 1:51 a.m. on December 11; his two companions survived and were released from the hospital.

Investigators learned Gregory had gang ties, but it was unclear whether the shooting was gang-related or whether he was the intended target. The scene became chaotic as many attendees fled and declined to cooperate, and no witnesses came forward who reported seeing the shooting. Security guards and a DJ were present and no weapons were recovered at the scene.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department pursued leads and identified suspects. One person arrested in connection with the incident was rapper Darrell Caldwell, known as Drakeo The Ruler; another defendant, Mikell Buchanan, was later convicted in relation to the shooting. The case underscored how witness reluctance and limited physical evidence complicated the investigation.

If anyone attended that event or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
