Bert Crump Jr. was 17 when he was shot and killed on August 22, 2014, in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting happened in the 1200 block of West Gage Avenue after Crump, who was standing in front of a home with a group, got into a dispute with another individual. A suspect described as a black male about 17 to 19 years old fired multiple shots, and Crump was later driven a short distance to the 1000 block of West 61st Street where paramedics pronounced him dead at 6:44 p.m.

Detectives from the LAPD Criminal Gang Homicide Division led the investigation. The suspect fled the scene and no arrests have been announced. Crump’s family has worked with police and the community to keep the case visible, holding vigils and outreach; the LAPD has asked anyone with information to contact the Criminal Gang Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.

Are there details witnesses in the Vermont-Slauson area recall from that evening that could help the investigation?
