Cedric Tavan Horne was 24 when he was fatally shot on October 30, 2015, while working as a landscaper in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the 900 block of West 68th Street. A black pickup truck drove by and someone inside opened fire; the shooter then exited the vehicle, continued firing, and returned to the truck before it fled. Horne, described as not affiliated with any gangs, was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 8:04 p.m.

Investigators concluded Horne was mistakenly targeted and, based on witness statements and surveillance footage identifying the black pickup, named 39-year-old Weldon Bedford as a suspect. Bedford was arrested on November 7, 2016, at his home and charged with one count of murder. Family and friends held a vigil after the killing, which the community framed as another tragic instance of gang-related violence and mistaken identity.

Did anyone in the area at that time see the pickup or have additional details about the incident?
