Jonathan Watts, 42, was fatally shot while barbecuing in Willie White Park in the 3000 block of Battram Street in Pomona on March 1, 2015. The shooting occurred about 3:20 p.m. when a silver or gray four-door sedan approached and occupants opened fire. Watts suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was taken to a local hospital; he was pronounced dead during surgery at 6:18 p.m. A 16-year-old male from Las Vegas was also hit and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators determined the attack fit a pattern of gang-related violence in Pomona, linked to ongoing conflicts involving the 456 Island Piru Bloods and the Sin Town 357 Gangster Crips. Progress on the investigation was hampered by witness reluctance to cooperate; the Pomona Police Department asked anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers. As of the latest update, no arrests had been announced and the case remained open.

Did anyone see the silver or gray four-door sedan in the area that afternoon or have information that could help move this case forward?
