Adrian Gibbs, 29, was shot and killed on December 30, 2023, at the Hyde Park K-Line Metro Station in Los Angeles at Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. He suffered a gunshot wound to the back, was taken to a local hospital, and later died of his injuries. The shooting reportedly began after an argument between Gibbs and a group of individuals on a walkway near the station; motive remains under investigation.

The LAPD identified 24-year-old Dwight Panton as the primary suspect and arrested him on January 1, 2024, near 50th Street and 9th Avenue. Officers said he was wearing the same clothing seen during the murder and was found with a handgun. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Panton on January 3, 2024, with murder; he also faces two counts of attempted murder and one count of assault with a firearm tied to separate shootings in Leimert Park and Inglewood and was being held on $3.1 million bail.

Anyone who witnessed the argument or has information about the shooting is asked to contact South Bureau Homicide detectives or L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers.
