Melody Ann Brewer was 17 when she was fatally shot on January 31, 2000, in San Pedro, Los Angeles. Coroner’s records show she was sitting in a car when a shooter approached and opened fire; Melody was struck by nine bullets while the man in the driver’s seat was not hit. Investigators concluded she was not the intended target but an innocent bystander.

Detectives recovered numerous shell casings at the scene and identified what they described as a promising lead on the shooter, but no arrests have been announced. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division has continued the investigation. Melody’s family has said the case’s lack of resolution has left them without closure.

Did anyone in San Pedro in 2000 see that car or have information about the shooting that could help bring answers?
