David Jerome Scott, 31, was shot and killed in Compton on May 21, 2014. Deputies responding to a gunshot call around 10:30 p.m. found Scott and a 44-year-old man in the front yard of a home in the 1100 block of East Bennett Street; both had gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported a light-colored sedan drove by and someone inside opened fire. Scott was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 11:13 p.m.

Investigators quickly identified and located the vehicle described by witnesses. Michael Angelo Daniel, 37, was arrested after deputies found the car; bullet casings recovered in the vehicle were introduced at trial. In March 2016 a jury convicted Daniel of first-degree murder for Scott’s killing and attempted murder for shooting the surviving man, and jurors found true a gang allegation and related gun enhancements. Daniel was sentenced to 80 years to life in May 2016.

Does anyone have information about David Jerome Scott or the events on East Bennett Street that could still help investigators or provide context for the community?
