Devonte Laray Bowie was 18 when he was shot and killed in Watts on May 24, 2014. The shooting happened about 2:25 a.m. in the Nickerson Gardens housing development on the 1300 block of East 112th Street. Bowie and an 18-year-old friend were standing outside a home when a man approached and opened fire, striking both; Bowie was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 4:58 a.m., while his friend survived.

Investigators say Bowie and his friend had an argument with an individual shortly before the shooting, and that confrontation is believed to be connected to the attack. The Los Angeles Police Department Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the case and asked the public for help. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Nickerson Gardens area on May 24, 2014, see or hear anything that could help identify the shooter?
