Kevin Quincy Williams was a 32-year-old barber who was shot and killed on April 25, 2014, at the Western Hair Lounge in the 6500 block of South Western Avenue in the Harvard Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles. At about 4:46 p.m. two men entered the salon and demanded money. Williams resisted and struggled with the assailants; one of the men fired a single shot that struck Williams in the upper torso. A friend drove him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:14 p.m.

Investigators arrested 35-year-old Mark Lequan Alford of Gardena and charged him with capital murder, alleging the killing occurred during the commission of a robbery and that Alford personally and intentionally discharged a handgun. Prosecutors said an unidentified second accomplice also entered the salon with the intent to rob Williams. The decision whether to seek the death penalty was to be made later.

Friends and family described Williams as generous and well-loved; he reportedly gave free haircuts and hosted barbecues for neighborhood children. A vigil was held at the shooting site. Has anyone with knowledge of that afternoon or the unidentified second suspect come forward with information?
