Yasmaine Craddock, 38, was fatally shot in South Los Angeles in the early hours of September 5, 2025. Police and paramedics responded a little after 2 a.m. to East 74th Street and Main Street after two men were struck amid what investigators described as a shoot-out style scene. Craddock was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead that Friday; the county medical examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives reported roughly 30 people had been gathered in the street—possibly for a memorial—when an argument escalated and shots rang out. One other man survived and was in stable condition while officers collected spent casings and canvassed for witnesses. The shooting time was logged variously around 2:04–2:40 a.m. The LAPD said it was searching for a suspect or suspects and indicated the gunfire might have been gang-related; no arrests were immediately announced.

Anyone who was at East 74th and Main Street that morning or has information is asked to contact detectives.
