Jesse Duron Smith, 40, of Gardena, California, was shot and killed on July 12, 2016, on South Hoover Street in the Harbor Gateway area. According to coroner’s records the shooting occurred around 1:10 a.m.; Smith was found in the street by people trying to help him, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead at 1:49 a.m.

Police say about five or six people, including Smith, were standing in the area when an individual walked along West 130th Street, stopped on the corner and began firing into the group. Investigators believe the shooter may have been a gang member, though Smith was not documented as one. The group had been memorializing a friend who recently died of natural causes when the shooting occurred. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the Criminal Gang Homicide Division and Crime Stoppers were asking for information.

Does anyone who attended that gathering or who was in the Harbor Gateway area that night have information that could help investigators?
