Ervin Brown, 52, was shot and killed in the early hours of April 1, 2015, in the Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw area of Los Angeles. According to coroner’s records, he was standing on the corner near Buckingham Road and Santa Rosalia Drive about 3 a.m. when a vehicle approached and a person inside fired multiple shots. It is unclear whether the shooter exited the vehicle or fired from inside it. Brown was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 10:24 a.m.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the case. Investigators explored several lines, including possible gang-related motives, but initial details about suspects and motives were scarce and the probe has been hampered by a lack of immediate leads and witnesses willing to come forward. No arrests or suspects have been publicly linked to the killing as of the latest update.

If anyone knew Ervin Brown, was in that neighborhood the night of April 1, 2015, or has information that could help identify the vehicle or person involved, please share what is known.
