Donald Chapman, 28, was shot and killed on October 12, 2014, in broad daylight around 12:21 p.m. near East 81st Street and South Avalon Boulevard in the Florence neighborhood of Los Angeles. He was approached by someone who exited a vehicle and shot him; Chapman was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead at 12:38 p.m.

People in the area chased and apprehended the shooter as he tried to flee, and witnesses identified the vehicle’s driver. Those who detained the suspect left before giving formal statements to police. The suspect was later identified as 19-year-old Marcus Smith and was charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of shooting at an inhabited dwelling; the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the case.

Who has information about that afternoon or about Donald Chapman’s movements that day?
