Louis George Shaw, a 53-year-old man from Los Angeles, was shot and killed on June 5, 2015, near West 69th Street and South Budlong Avenue in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood. Coroner’s records and police reports say Shaw was involved in a disagreement with another individual around 10:30 a.m.; during that confrontation he was shot in the head. Neighbors who heard the shots called 911, and paramedics pronounced Shaw dead at the scene. The shooter fled in a dark-colored SUV.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation. Police have offered anonymity through Crime Stoppers and asked the public for help, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains unsolved. Little evidence and a scarcity of witnesses have been cited as obstacles to progress.

If anyone has information about the shooting or saw a dark-colored SUV in the area that morning, please contact the LAPD or Crime Stoppers.
