Ira Frederick McCurry, 45, was shot and killed on April 30, 1992, in Los Angeles while attempting to stop looters from setting fire to a liquor store near his home in the Green Meadows neighborhood. His death occurred during the larger unrest of the 1992 Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of four LAPD officers in the Rodney King case.

No immediate arrests or suspects were identified in McCurry’s killing, and the chaotic conditions during the riots are reported to have hampered investigations into many crimes from that period. The case remained unresolved as part of the wider list of riot-era fatalities.

Does anyone have firsthand information about McCurry, the Green Meadows area in April 1992, or details that could help shed light on this unsolved death?
