Dayveon James Perkins was 23 when he was shot at a party at the Lorenzo Apartments on West Adams Boulevard in Los Angeles on February 7, 2014. Three unknown males who were not invited to the party became involved in a confrontation; during that altercation one of them produced a firearm and shot Perkins in the abdomen.

Perkins was taken to a hospital but died on May 26, 2014, after months of complications related to the gunshot wound. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Newton Division handled the investigation and asked the public for help identifying the suspects, but investigators faced limited cooperation from eyewitnesses. No arrests or major breakthroughs have been reported and the case remains open.

If anyone has information about that night or the three uninvited males, contact the Newton Division homicide detectives or Crime Stoppers.
