Earnest Clifton Hodge, 52, was shot and killed on March 29, 2016, while walking south on South Figueroa Street in the Vermont Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles at about 8:45 p.m. A black sedan approached and a person inside opened fire; Hodge was with a woman who was not injured. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 10:02 p.m.

The suspect was described as a black man in his 30s. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division is handling the investigation, which remains unsolved and without arrests. Authorities have appealed for witnesses or tips; investigators say a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence has hindered progress.

If anyone was near South Figueroa Street that evening or has information about the black sedan or the suspect, please share what is known with the LAPD.
