Ladell Edward Rowles, 50, was shot and killed on July 8, 2015, in the 10000 block of South Broadway in the Broadway-Manchester neighborhood of Los Angeles. He was outside an apartment complex speaking with others when an argument erupted and a man pulled out a rifle and shot Rowles. The shooter then fled in an SUV. Rowles was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:37 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

Known in his community as the street apostle for his work with children and for defusing dangerous situations, Rowles was a former gang member who later devoted himself to outreach through the Kids IV Life Youth Center. His funeral was held at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, where his brother Michael Rowles, a pastor, delivered a sermon. The Los Angeles Police Department Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation, which remains unsolved; police have asked anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the Broadway-Manchester area see or hear anything that night that could help bring answers?
