Kenyada Lamont Thornton, 27, was shot and killed on August 13, 2016, in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting happened in the 3300 block of West 63rd Street while Thornton was standing on the street. A man approached after exiting a car, an argument broke out, and the assailant — described only as a black man — produced a gun and shot Thornton. The shooter fled in a dark sedan, driving south on Crenshaw Boulevard.

Thornton was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 11:14 a.m. The LAPD’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division opened an investigation and asked anyone with information to contact them or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. No suspect had been identified and no arrests were announced immediately after the shooting, leaving the case unsolved and Thornton’s family and community seeking justice.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the dark sedan, the shooter, or events leading up to the argument, please come forward.
