Boston Keith Farley, 23, was shot and killed on May 15, 2016, near South Wilmington Avenue and West Caldwell Street in Compton. He and two others were in a car pulling out of a gas station when a male gunman who had been waiting on the sidewalk opened fire. The shooter fled in a white pickup truck; surveillance showed a Chevy or General Motors style pickup with ladder racks and built-in side toolboxes leaving the scene.

Responding deputies found three people, two with gunshot wounds. Farley was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 9:22 p.m.; the other fatality, Richard Williams, was found dead at the scene. Authorities said neither Farley nor Williams had gang affiliations and appeared to have been targeted without reason. A $20,000 reward — from county supervisors, the victims’ families and city officials — was offered for information leading to arrests and convictions.

Farley’s family described him as caring and outgoing; he had recently taken a warehouse job, hoped to return to school to become a barber, and left behind a young son. Anyone with information about the double homicide is urged to come forward.
