A 30-year-old man, Damon Neal, was fatally shot outside an apartment building on the 2200 block of South Hobart Boulevard in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood of Los Angeles on the evening of February 1, 2026. Neal was standing on the sidewalk at about 8:10 p.m. with a 19-year-old companion when two men in a vehicle pulled up, got out and opened fire. Neal sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene; the younger man was taken to a hospital and reported in stable condition.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner ruled Neal’s death a homicide. The Los Angeles Police Department has not released detailed descriptions of the two male suspects or the vehicle, no arrests have been announced, and the motive remains unclear.
