John Konelio Tagoai, a 29-year-old Samoan man, was shot and killed on May 30, 2014, in the Broadway-Manchester area of Los Angeles. The shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Colden Avenue. Tagoai was standing in a driveway with about six other people when a man approached and opened fire into the group; the gunman fled on foot, described as a black male running west on West Colden Avenue toward South Broadway.

Tagoai was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 11:52 p.m. No one else was reported injured. The Los Angeles Police Department Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation and has said they believe Tagoai was the intended target. There have been no arrests or publicly identified suspects, and investigators cite a lack of cooperating witnesses; Crime Stoppers anonymity was offered to anyone with information.
