Dewayne Bernard Christian, 43, of Compton was fatally shot while driving home around 11 p.m. on February 18, 2016. He was on a narrow residential street in the 14500 block of South Cairn Avenue when multiple gunshots struck his upper torso. His vehicle continued a short distance before hitting a parked car, and he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital shortly after midnight on February 19, 2016.

Neighbors reported hearing the shots and seeing a light-colored sedan speed away, but it is unclear whether that car was involved or if the shooter was on foot or in a different vehicle. Investigators say no motive has been established and that Christian was not involved in gang activity. No arrests or identified suspects have been announced and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is seeking witnesses.

If anyone saw activity near South Cairn Avenue that night or has information about the light-colored sedan, please contact investigators.
