Dwayne Alfred Winfield Jr., a 20-year-old resident of Vincent, California, was fatally shot on January 27, 2004. Los Angeles County coroner’s records list multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death. No arrests were made immediately after the shooting, and the case remained unsolved as investigators struggled with few leads and a lack of cooperative witnesses.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has revisited the investigation at times but no public breakthrough has been reported. Dwayne’s family continues to lack closure while the community remembers the fatal consequences of gun violence in Vincent.

If anyone has information about what happened to Dwayne on January 27, 2004, or remembers seeing anything that day, please contact the Sheriff’s Department.
