Anthony J. Gain, 78, was one of four people killed in a workplace shooting at the Piper Technical Center in Los Angeles on July 19, 1995. Gain had worked for the city of Los Angeles for 53 years. The shooter, Willie Woods, an electrician with the General Services Department, brought a 19-shot Glock semiautomatic pistol to the center. After a disagreement about his performance evaluation, Woods left a room and then returned with the firearm, killing two supervisors in their cubicles before going to the basement and killing two more victims, including Gain.

Woods was arrested as he attempted to leave the building by two police gang unit officers who were on site for an unrelated matter. He was later charged with multiple counts of murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on February 7, 1997. What details about Gain’s life or his time at the Piper Technical Center might help provide context for investigators or for those who remember him?
