Kevin Ball, 48, was shot to death on the evening of May 24, 2025, in a narrow alley near Florence Avenue and Dalton Avenue in Manchester Square, Los Angeles. First responders found him mortally wounded; the county medical examiner listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and formal identification named him Kevin Lamar Ball. A woman was also injured and taken to hospital.

Police were called just after 6:24–6:30 p.m. Officers secured the scene while aerial footage showed two white canopies in the alley where two people had been pronounced dead. Officers reported two assailants firing into a crowd gathered in the alley before fleeing. Patrol units established a perimeter with air support and conducted a block-by-block search; one suspect was detained soon after and a second was taken into custody after briefly barricading inside a location during a subsequent sweep.

Investigators said they were probing motive and assessing whether the attack was gang-related. Did anyone in the Manchester Square area see or hear anything that night, or have information about who was in that alley?
