Keith Alan Hasson Sr., 48, a Los Angeles bar owner, was fatally shot on September 6, 2014, in Jefferson Park near the 4300 block of West 28th Street. The shooting occurred about 6:20 p.m. after Hasson exited the backdoor of his establishment, the Living Room bar, and walked down an alley. An unidentified Black man approached, pulled out a gun without provocation, and shot him; the suspect then fled, possibly in a dark-colored SUV. Hasson was pronounced dead at the scene.

The LAPD’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division investigated and released surveillance footage seeking help identifying the shooter, but the assailant remained at large. Family and friends remembered Hasson as a protector and friend, and the community continued to appeal for information as investigators worked the case.

If anyone saw activity in the alley behind the Living Room bar that evening or knows who was driving a dark-colored SUV in the area, please share what is known with investigators.
