Geron Bernard Lacy was 16 when he was shot and killed in Long Beach on May 3, 2016. The shooting took place in the 3300 block of East 65th Street near Ramona Park; the Los Angeles County coroner’s records list a fatal gunshot wound to the head and pronouncement of death at the scene shortly before 7 p.m. that evening.

Long Beach police say Lacy may have been involved in a confrontation with his shooter or shooters earlier that night. Investigators report that those assailants left after the initial fight, returned later and shot Lacy at the edge of the park. Authorities have characterized the case as possibly gang-related.

Prosecutors identified 20-year-old Tyrone Moy as the primary shooter and charged him, along with Maria Macias, Marvin Lard, Alexus Gilmore, and Vanity Lebeau, with murder and gang enhancements. A judge found sufficient evidence to hold all five for trial after hearing testimony that the group returned to the park seeking retribution following a post–basketball-game altercation in which Lacy allegedly challenged Moy by shouting a rival gang’s name.

Did anyone who knew Geron or who was at Ramona Park that night see the events leading up to the shooting or the people who returned to the park?
