Leslie Virgie Holland, 31, was fatally shot on the night of August 7, 2001, while working at Dapp’s Auto Repair at 190th and Broadway in Carson, California. He was in a tow truck moving vehicles onto the lot when a black van approached and opened fire. The killing came just three weeks after the death of his mother.

Investigators recovered a burned van and a gun clip as leads, but those items did not produce a breakthrough. No arrests or charges are described, and the case remains unsolved. Family members continue to grieve and seek answers as the investigation has been hampered by a lack of credible informants and concrete evidence.

If anyone saw a black van near Dapp’s Auto Repair on August 7, 2001, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
