Louis Amari Watson was 18 when he was shot in the head on April 29, 1992, at the corner of Vernon and Normandie avenues in Los Angeles during the unrest that followed the Rodney King verdict. He and friends had left his house that evening to walk a young female friend to a bus stop; while they waited around 8 PM a car approached and shots were fired from the vehicle, striking Watson.

Reports say there were no clear signs of gang activity at the scene and that Watson was known in his neighborhood as a role model not involved in gangs. Some people have suggested undercover police could have been involved, but that remains an unproven theory. No arrests have been announced and the case is described as unsolved.

If anyone knew Louis, was at Vernon and Normandie that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
