Diane Lore Andrea, 22, of Los Angeles was one of seven people killed on April 22, 1973, during a rapid shooting spree in South Los Angeles. The rampage began after a personal dispute between the shooter, identified as William Ray Bonner, and a family friend, Otha Leavitt. Bonner shot two teenagers outside his home, killed Leavitt, then stole Leavitt’s car and continued attacking people at gas stations and private residences.

Diane Andrea was shot in the neck by a shotgun blast that severed her jugular vein and spinal cord; she was killed instantly. Bonner was later wounded in a shootout with police, arrested, and charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment later that year.

Are there readers who knew Diane or remember the community in South Los Angeles at the time who can share anything that might shed more light on her life or the day of the attacks?
