Marcus Edward McClendon, 52, was shot and killed in the Harvard Park neighborhood of Los Angeles shortly after midnight on August 18, 2015. He and a friend had arrived at a home on West 65th Place to visit someone; about ten minutes later an unidentified man approached and began shooting. McClendon was struck and pronounced dead at the scene. His friend was wounded and taken to a hospital and survived.

Investigators reported the shooter fled on foot and may have entered a sedan. No arrests or suspects had been identified and it was unclear whether the shooting was gang-related. McClendon was remembered by family and neighbors as a local mechanic who often helped others, repairing bikes and assisting neighbors, and his death left the community grieving. A $50,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Marcus or has information about that night on West 65th Place, please come forward.
