Patrick Bettan, 30, was fatally shot on April 30, 1992, while working as an armed security guard at a supermarket in Koreatown during the Los Angeles riots. He was part of a group of armed storeowners and security personnel protecting their property when a bullet struck his head; reports say the wound destroyed the top of his head and he died immediately.

His death occurred amid widespread violence, looting, and arson that followed the acquittal of police officers in the Rodney King case. Bettan’s killing was investigated as one of many riot-era homicides, but the chaotic conditions that day impeded identification of suspects. No arrests have been made and the case remains open.

Does anyone have information about Bettan’s final hours at the Koreatown supermarket or about witnesses who were there that day?
