Damon Dion Todd, 23, of San Bernardino, California, was shot and killed on May 10, 2013. The shooting is described as part of a string of violent incidents in the city during that period, when gang activity and retaliatory shootings were common.

Investigators faced the same obstacles that affected many cases from that time: few witnesses willing to come forward and the complicating factor of gang affiliations. Todd’s death left family and friends mourning; he is remembered on memorial sites such as Find A Grave.
