Donald Dewayne Gathright, 33, was shot and killed on December 3, 2016, in Willowbrook, California. He had been visiting friends in the 300 block of East 142nd Street when gunshots were heard around 5:12 p.m.; a neighbor who looked out the window found Gathright lying in the driveway and called 911. Deputies pronounced him dead at the scene at 5:35 p.m. after he had been struck twice.

Investigators reported no description of the shooter and did not know whether the assailant was on foot or in a vehicle. Several people were on the street when deputies arrived, but none provided information or an account of what happened. Despite public appeals and a request for anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers, no substantial leads or arrests have been reported.

The lack of witness cooperation and the absence of concrete evidence have been cited as major obstacles in the inquiry. Does anyone who lived in Willowbrook in December 2016 recall unusual activity on East 142nd Street that afternoon or have information that could help this investigation?
