Dermelle Davenport, 51, was fatally shot on June 1, 2016, at an Arco gas station in the Hyde Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s records place the shooting at about 7:20 p.m. Officers responding to an assault with a deadly weapon call found Davenport between gas pumps next to his white Porsche Cayenne with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators treated the attack as an apparent robbery attempt and said there was no prior connection between Davenport and the shooter. Surveillance footage from the station was reviewed and a person of interest was taken into custody by LAX police shortly after the incident. Family and friends gathered at the scene, grieving and calling for justice.

Are there witnesses or additional details from that night who can shed light on what happened?
