Balham Mitchell Frierson, 45, was shot and killed in Leimert Park on June 16, 2016. The shooting happened in the 4300 block of Garthwaite Avenue shortly before 2:30 p.m.; Frierson was struck in front of an apartment complex entryway and was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:50 p.m. The assailant fled north on Garthwaite Avenue after the shooting.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division has been investigating and says the killing appears to have stemmed from a personal dispute, but no arrests have been made. Detectives have interviewed potential witnesses and continue to follow leads; the LAPD is asking anyone with information to contact them or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.

Frierson’s family and neighbors remain affected by the unresolved loss. Does anyone who was in the area that afternoon or who knew Frierson have information that could help the investigation?
