Irby Ford, 54, was shot while sitting on his front porch in the 1500 block of South Bentley Avenue in Compton on June 11, 2016, at about 7:50 p.m. He was shot multiple times, taken to a nearby hospital, and died of his wounds on June 13, 2016. Ford had grown up in the neighborhood, worked as a long-haul truck driver, and was living alone at the time; friends who had been visiting are believed to have left the scene before deputies arrived.

Ford was able to speak with investigators after the shooting but could not identify his attacker. Witnesses reported seeing a black male on a bicycle leaving the area immediately after the shooting, though it is unclear whether that person was involved. No arrests have been announced and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau is asking the public to come forward with any information or anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night that could help identify the cyclist or provide other details about the shooting?
