A late-night dispute outside Berri’s Cafe in Beverly Grove ended in deadly gunfire on July 9, 2023. Officers with the LAPD responded about 3:50 a.m. to reports of shots near West Third Street and South Orlando Avenue and found three males with gunshot wounds. Seventeen-year-old Zackary Dickson-Hislop was pronounced dead at the scene; a 17-year-old and a 26-year-old were taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and listed in stable condition.

Detective Sam Marullo said the shooting followed an argument that began as the group was leaving the cafe and escalated on Orlando Avenue just south of Third Street. Witnesses reported numerous vehicles fleeing the area, and the suspect was last seen running southbound on Orlando Avenue. Survivors and potential witnesses have so far been uncooperative, and no arrests or motive details have been released.

Did anyone in the Beverly Grove area see what happened that night or recognize the person seen fleeing south on Orlando Avenue?
