Late on Thursday, December 11, 2025, Christine Victoria Vane Johnson, 34, was shot and killed on a sidewalk near Avalon Boulevard and 113th Street in the Green Meadows neighborhood of South Los Angeles. LAPD officers and Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded to a shots-fired call at about 10:31 p.m.; Johnson was found unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. A witness suggested a head wound, but official reports list multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Investigators say the shooting followed a heated altercation between Johnson and two unidentified men, described only as about 30 to 40 years old, who fled on foot in an unknown direction. No arrests had been reported in the days after the killing, and authorities had not publicly released a motive. Johnson’s family had been touched by a prior fatal shooting of her older sister in 2017. Community tension continued in the area, with a double shooting reported less than 24 hours later.

Anyone with information about the two men or the incident is asked to come forward.
