John Westley Matthews, 36, of Westmont, California, was shot and killed on February 5, 2014, around 6:58 p.m. near the 8800 block of South Vermont Avenue. He had stopped to talk to a parking attendant outside a church when a man approached and opened fire. Both Matthews and the 35-year-old parking attendant were shot; Matthews was pronounced dead at 7:35 p.m. and the attendant survived and was listed in stable condition at a nearby hospital.

The shooter was described as a black man with a stocky build, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, who fled on foot westbound on West 89th Street. Matthews’ longtime girlfriend was nearby but did not witness the shooting. Friends and family remember him as a good friend, a believer in God, and a devoted father to his stepdaughter and teenage son. No arrests have been made and no suspects identified.

Does anyone who lived or worked in the Westmont area that evening have information that could help investigators?
