Demond Tristan Jones, 28, of Los Angeles, was shot dead in the early morning of October 5, 2016. He was standing on the southeast corner of West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Normandie Avenue at about 2:20 a.m. when a dark-colored SUV approached and shots were fired in his direction. The vehicle then fled east on West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Jones was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:43 a.m., and the Los Angeles County coroner recorded multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

The case was handled by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division. Initial investigation was hampered by a lack of clear evidence and eyewitness accounts, and police appealed to the public for information that could identify those responsible. What does anyone who was in South Los Angeles that night remember seeing or hearing that might help this case?
