Sigmund Thomas Chornes, 37, was shot and killed on February 2, 2014, in the Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw area of Los Angeles. The shooting occurred around 9:45 p.m. in the 4000 block of Abourne Road after Chornes stepped outside a relative’s home to get a blanket following the Super Bowl. A light-colored SUV pulled up, an occupant asked where he was from, and after Chornes said he wasn’t affiliated with any gang the occupant shot him multiple times. Chornes was pronounced dead at 9:48 p.m.; an autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Chornes was an in-home caregiver and a rapper working on a full-length album. Family and friends described him as compassionate; his music often addressed the dangers of gang violence but he was not involved in gangs. The LAPD Criminal Gang Homicide Division handled the investigation, and no arrests have been reported. The case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw area see the light-colored SUV or know who might have been involved?
