If anyone has heard of anything , anyone that can be connected please report it. Tijae was so sweet , so thoughtful, so loving. His presence is missed, greatly. My baby didn’t deserve to go out in this manner, whatsoever. I’m in disbelief that no one knows nothing or saw anything with all the cameras in the parking lot, and even across the street; there were multiple people outside when the incident occurred. I pray someone comes forward soon.

Tijae Timothy Boykins, 28, was shot and killed the night of September 15, 2025, in the Vermont–Slauson area of South Los Angeles. Officers from the LAPD 77th Street Division responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon near Figueroa Street and Slauson Avenue. On-scene accounts say officers began CPR before Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics transported Boykins to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. A mortuary funeral notice lists his life dates as May 28, 1997 to September 15, 2025.

Public incident logs and reporting place emergency calls for the shooting between about 10:30 and 11:30 p.m., and note that assailants fled the area after hitting the victim. Detectives initially described the attack as possibly gang-related. As of the most recent updates, no arrests have been announced and investigators had not released a suspect description. Anyone with information is asked to contact South Bureau Homicide or submit an anonymous tip to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone in the Vermont–Slauson area see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
