Lamar Thomas was 39 when he was shot during a violent altercation while attending a funeral in the South Park neighborhood of Los Angeles on September 2, 2015, around 12:30 p.m. Members of a rival gang approached Thomas’s group and an exchange of gunfire followed. Thomas was struck, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries four days later on September 6, 2015.

Investigators say the shooters fled east on East 47th Street immediately after the shooting. No arrests have been announced and the Los Angeles Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers anonymously. Known as Big Lotto to friends and family, Thomas was a father of five and is remembered as charismatic and deeply loved.

Does anyone have information about that funeral, the people who were there, or movements on East 47th Street that afternoon?
