Tarrell Anthony Carruthers, 23, was fatally shot in Compton, California, on July 22, 2014. Coroner’s records list the death as a gunshot fatality; reports describe him as a young Black male whose life was cut short by this violent act.

Authorities did not announce immediate arrests or identified suspects after the shooting. Investigators cited a lack of witnesses and limited cooperation from the community as obstacles, and the case later went cold despite continued investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Family, friends and local residents held vigils and memorials in the months after his death. Does anyone have information about what happened to Tarrell Carruthers or recall being in the area that day?
