Monte Russell, 38, of Pasadena, California, was shot and killed on August 21, 2015, about 5:18 p.m. in the rear parking lot of a barbershop in the 1700 block of East Washington Boulevard. He was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses reported the suspects fled in a grey four-door 2015 Dodge Charger.

Investigators tied Russell’s killing to an internal feud within the Pasadena Denver Lane Bloods and say leads connected his murder to the 2013 execution-style shooting of Tyrone English on February 28, 2013, in the 600 block of North Mar Vista Avenue. Detectives have identified several persons of interest in both cases and in February 2020 said new information had emerged; police continue to seek witnesses and encouraged anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

Russell’s family described him as someone trying to turn away from gang life toward personal change when he was killed. Does anyone who was in that area on August 21, 2015, or who knew Russell have information that could help investigators?
