Brandon Charles Harris, 35, of Los Angeles was found dead inside a parked Jeep on the 700 block of West 104th Street in the Vermont Vista neighborhood on October 22, 2016. A passerby noticed bullet holes in the vehicle and called police; the LAPD and the coroner pronounced Harris dead at the scene at approximately 8:15 a.m. Coroner records indicate he had been shot around midnight, although residents did not report hearing gunshots.

The LAPD’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation but did not identify suspects or make arrests. Investigators cited a lack of eyewitnesses, no surveillance footage, and reluctance among potential witnesses as obstacles. Harris’s family and friends held memorials and urged anyone with information to come forward; Crime Stoppers was offered as an anonymous tip option.

Does anyone in the Vermont Vista area remember seeing a Jeep or anything unusual around West 104th Street late on the night of October 21 into October 22, 2016?
