Darrell Everett Hines, 38, was shot and killed on July 12, 2015, in the 16300 block of South Caress Avenue in East Compton. He had just left a vigil for Travione Rashad Mason, 26, who had been shot and killed the day before; Hines was getting into the driver’s seat of his white sport-utility vehicle around 10:22 p.m. when an unknown assailant opened fire. Paramedics pronounced him dead at 10:42 p.m.

Deputies responded after a report of an assault with a deadly weapon, but investigators have not identified any suspects or determined how the shooter left the scene. It is unclear whether the shooting was related to Mason’s homicide or why Hines attended the vigil; Hines lived in another part of Compton. His aunt, community activist Rita Norwood Belfry, who raised him from age eight, held a news conference at the scene and offered a personal reward for information, but no arrests have been made.

Who in the community might have seen something that night or knows why Hines was at the vigil?
