Brandon Lee was 19 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on January 29, 2008. He was standing outside on Almond Avenue in Monrovia, California, at about 7:15 p.m. when a green GM model car pulled up and someone inside began firing. Lee was taken to a hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after.

Investigators linked his death to a series of retaliatory gang shootings between the Duroc Crips and two Latino gangs, Monrovia Nuevo Varrio and Eastside Duarte, that had been escalating in Monrovia and Duarte. Authorities say suspects were arrested the following year, but a jury later acquitted a Monrovia gang member who had been charged in Lee’s murder, leaving the killing unsolved in that period.

Lee’s death was one of many homicides in the San Gabriel Valley and Whittier area between 2000 and 2010; community members called for an end to the violence. If anyone has information about the shooting on Almond Avenue that evening, please come forward.
