Aaron James Pritchard, 21, of Carson, California, was shot and killed on May 16, 2016. He was standing with friends in the 1600 block of East Gladwick Avenue about 7:45 p.m. when a man who appeared to be known to the group parked a light-colored, two-door sedan nearby, approached, and after a brief polite exchange produced a handgun and began shooting. Pritchard fell and the shooter continued firing before fleeing in the sedan; Pritchard was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:55 p.m. from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators determined Pritchard had been attending college in New Mexico and had returned home for the summer. Deputies said friends who had been present scattered when they arrived, complicating the probe; witnesses did provide some information but detectives reported few concrete leads and had not identified the shooter. Authorities asked anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau or Crime Stoppers.

Who in Carson might have known Aaron and his friends or seen that light-colored two-door sedan that evening?
