Lamont Thomas Jones, a 30-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on September 1, 2014, in the 900 block of West Florence Avenue in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting occurred about 2:10 p.m. at the Green Forest Car Wash after witnesses reported an argument between two groups who had arrived in separate vehicles. A man produced a gun and opened fire, striking Jones and a 26-year-old man, Mario King.

Jones was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 2:27 p.m.; the Los Angeles County coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the chest and the manner of death homicide. King also died of his injuries at the hospital. The Los Angeles Police Department Criminal Gang Homicide Division investigated, saying the shooter and his associates fled in a dark-colored SUV. No arrests had been announced and the case was described as open.
