Wayne Patrick Cooper, 36, of Downey, California, was shot and killed around 1:30 a.m. on March 25, 2014. He was found inside his SUV on the 11600 block of Bellflower Boulevard with multiple gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead at 3:12 a.m.; the Los Angeles County coroner listed the cause of death as gunshot wounds.

Downey police investigators said Cooper was a known gang member and that the killing was believed to be gang-related. Officers located him after reports of shots fired; investigators say he had been sitting in his vehicle outside an apartment complex when he was attacked. Two suspects were arrested and booked for murder, though their names were not immediately released.

The case drew attention to gang violence in the area and prompted continued investigative work by the Downey Police Department alongside other agencies. Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood or knew Wayne have information that could clarify what led to this shooting?
