Late on the evening of Friday, July 3, 2026, a drive-by shooting at the intersection of 59th Street and Crenshaw Boulevard in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles left two men dead and one wounded. Jerome Cunningham, 60, a Black male, was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his gunshot injuries; Clayton Manning, 49, of Tustin, was pronounced dead at the scene. A third man, 54, survived his wounds.

Police say the shooting occurred about 7:45 p.m. when a vehicle carrying two or three male suspects approached the group and opened fire before fleeing. Authorities have not released detailed suspect or vehicle descriptions and the motive remains unclear. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled Cunningham’s death a homicide and the investigation is active.

If anyone who was in Hyde Park that evening saw the vehicle or the men who fled, or has other information that could help identify those responsible, please come forward.
