Albourie Isaiah Jelloh, a 25-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on the evening of September 3, 2024, in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Hawthorne, California. Hawthorne officers responded about 8:50 p.m. to multiple reports of gunfire on the 13900 block of Chadron Avenue and found Jelloh with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9 p.m. The Los Angeles County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Witnesses pointed investigators to a third-floor apartment connected to 53-year-old Willie Jones. Jones was detained at the complex and arrested that same night on suspicion of murder. Prosecutors later pursued the case, and on June 24, 2025, Jones was sentenced to 120 years in prison for Jelloh’s killing.

Jelloh was buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery. If anyone knew Albourie Jelloh or has information about the events that led to this shooting, please share what you know.
