William Fifita, 20, was killed in a car-to-car shooting on March 20, 2016, at about 2:15 a.m. at Rosecrans Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard on the Gardena–Hawthorne border. He and three others were returning from a church event in Torrance when a dark-colored sedan pulled alongside while they waited at a red light and at least one occupant opened fire. Fifita was struck in the upper body and pronounced dead at the scene. Two male passengers were also shot; a female passenger was uninjured.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage but were unable to produce a clear description of the suspects. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau and the Hawthorne Police Department are handling the case. Authorities say the shooting may have been racially motivated, though that theory has not been confirmed. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Fifita was a football player at Mt. San Antonio College and an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; his family has spoken publicly in calls for justice. Does anyone have information about that night or the dark-colored sedan seen leaving east on Rosecrans Avenue?
