Elbert O. Wilkins, 33, was shot to death on April 30, 1992, in Los Angeles during the unrest that followed the acquittal of four LAPD officers. Wilkins, a stereo-shop owner and father of two, was standing outside a liquor store at 92nd Street and Western Avenue in Gramercy Park when he was killed in a drive-by shooting amid the chaos of the 1992 riots.

The case remains open and unsolved; no arrests have been made. The volume of violence and disorder during the riots is cited as a major obstacle to identifying suspects and advancing investigations in many deaths from that period, including Wilkins’.

Did anyone who knew Elbert, saw activity near 92nd and Western on April 30, 1992, or has information about the drive-by attack come forward?
