David Perry was 51 and living in Los Angeles when he died on December 26, 2011. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled his death a homicide after he suffered a traumatic brain injury and was found with a gunshot wound near 1788 W. 24th St. in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood.

Perry, originally from Wadsworth, Ohio, worked as a self-employed painter in California. He enjoyed sports and reading and is survived by a daughter and grandsons in Texas. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing people flee the scene, and the LAPD opened an extensive investigation into the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Perry, the night of December 26, 2011, or the area around W. 24th St. that could help investigators?
