Latoya Denise Franklin, 25, was shot and killed on October 17, 2014, while standing on a corner in the 6400 block of South Vermont Avenue in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood of Los Angeles. Two men approached her shortly before 5:30 p.m. and shot her multiple times; she was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m. The coroner listed the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation. Detectives say the two suspects fled on foot, heading northbound on South Vermont Avenue. Investigators have cited a lack of immediate leads and witnesses willing to come forward as major obstacles; Crime Stoppers anonymity was offered. No arrests had been announced.

Who in the community might have seen someone running north on South Vermont Avenue around 5:30 p.m. that day or who knew Latoya’s routine and associates?
