Dwight Taylor was 42 when he was killed on April 29, 1992, in Los Angeles’ Vermont Square neighborhood. Taylor, a former college basketball player who was not affiliated with any gangs, was on his way to buy milk when he was struck by gunfire during the early hours of the Los Angeles riots that followed the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled the cause of death gunshot wounds.

Police classified the shooting as random and, despite media attention on the wider unrest, no arrests were ever announced and no suspects were identified. Taylor’s death received little independent follow-up amid the broader chaos, leaving his family without resolution.

Does anyone have memories of Dwight, or information about that night in Vermont Square that could help fill in what happened?
