Kenny Ray Harris, 36, was shot and killed on September 8, 2014, in the 1700 block of East 103rd Street in Watts. Authorities say a heated argument in the courtyard of the Washington Court Apartments began between Harris and a man in his 20s. A security guard briefly broke up that confrontation, but both men returned and the dispute resumed. During the second altercation the younger man produced a handgun and shot Harris multiple times in the upper torso. Harris was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 9:39 p.m.

The LAPD’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division investigated the killing. Detective Sal LaBarbera said the reason for the argument was unclear and the shooter’s identity was not known; the assailant fled running north on South Wilmington Avenue. No arrests had been announced and investigators asked the public for tips, including via an anonymous Crime Stoppers line.

If anyone has information about what led to the argument or saw the man who ran north on South Wilmington Avenue that night, please come forward.
