Michael Shean Ensley was 17 when he was killed at Reseda High School in Los Angeles on February 22, 1993. Ensley was shot through the chest with a small-caliber pistol in a school corridor. The shooter was 15-year-old Robert Heard. Police did not officially label the incident as gang-related, but noted both boys were involved in tagging activities.

Heard was arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of carrying a gun on a school campus. He was convicted and sent to a juvenile corrections facility, where he remained until 2002. The case drew attention because of the victims’ and perpetrator’s ages and the setting inside a school.

If anyone knew Michael’s routines at Reseda High or remembers that day, please share information that might shed light on what led to the shooting.
