Dwayne French, a Los Angeles resident, was fatally shot on August 22, 2015 in an incident investigators later classified as a homicide. The killing grew out of a confrontation that escalated into a shooting; witness accounts differed and investigators reconstructed a timeline from those varying statements.

Several people were charged in connection with the case. Richard Durbin was initially charged with murder but later pleaded guilty to a lesser count of aiding in a robbery after admitting he drove the vehicle used in the robbery that preceded French’s death. Candace Jones was sentenced to 20 years for her role. Legal action remained pending against Dwight Brown and Jesse James Hess, with Brown’s plea hearing scheduled for October 2024 and Hess’s trial set for March 2024.

The family has been seeking closure as prosecutions continue. Did anyone in Los Angeles see or hear anything relevant around August 22, 2015 that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
