Wendell Dechaun Lee, 25, was killed on September 21, 2015, in Willowbrook, California. He was visiting a friend and standing outside her home on Elva Avenue when a sedan pulled up, a man got out from the back driver’s-side door and opened fire with an assault-style weapon. Lee was struck multiple times in the upper torso, rushed to hospital and pronounced dead at 12:46 a.m. on September 22, 2015.

Lee was an aspiring professional basketball player who had been invited to try out for the Los Angeles D-Fenders and had scored more than 200 points in two seasons at Colorado State University at Pueblo. He also sang and played piano and described himself as a church-going, God-fearing man. Investigators say the shooter was a black male about 20 to 28 years old, roughly 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, and the vehicle was a silver Saturn Vue Red Line edition from 2003 to 2007. The case remains unsolved and no arrests have been made; the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone has information about that night on Elva Avenue or about the silver Saturn Vue Red Line, please come forward.
