Anthony Hyman was 18 when he was shot and killed on October 22, 2012, in Wilmington, Los Angeles. The shooting happened at about 8:10 a.m. while Hyman was in his car in an alley in the 1400 block of East Cruces Street. He was approached and struck multiple times; the suspect or suspects fled immediately.

LAPD detectives Patricia Batts and David Alvarez have been handling the investigation and a reward fund was established. The motive remains unknown, and Hyman was not affiliated with any gangs. No arrests have been announced.

The community rallied for Hyman’s family after the killing; a car wash fundraiser was held to help cover funeral expenses that were estimated at around $12,000. Does anyone who lived in Wilmington in 2012 remember seeing or hearing anything suspicious near East Cruces Street that morning?
