Aaron Shannon Jr., a 5-year-old boy from Los Angeles, was shot in the head on November 1, 2010, while showing off his Spider-Man costume to family on Halloween. The shooting occurred in the 1000 block of East 84th Street in the Florence neighborhood. Aaron was in his backyard when two men armed with handguns opened fire from an alley behind the home; one bullet struck the back of his head. His uncle and grandfather were also wounded but survived. Aaron was rushed to the hospital and died the following day.

The shooting has been described as a case of mistaken identity. Two suspects, Marcus Denson and Leonard Hall Jr., were arrested soon after and held on $1 million bail. Hall was reportedly on parole and forbidden from associating with the Kitchen Crips as a parole condition. The shooting left a family grieving and a community shaken.

Did anyone in the Florence neighborhood see activity in the alley behind the 1000 block of East 84th Street that night or have information about the two men involved?
