Leuea Loto, a 21-year-old male college student and football player, was shot and killed on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2018. Loto had returned home from the College of San Mateo and was taking part in a pickup football game at his alma mater, Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, Washington, when an argument broke out. Shortly after the dispute, a vehicle drove by and shots were fired, striking Loto. He died despite attempts to save him.

His death prompted an outpouring of grief: more than a thousand people attended a vigil at the high school, his father Fale Loto publicly forgave those responsible, and his high school coach retired Loto’s number 52 jersey. The Des Moines Police Department investigated the homicide and asked anyone who was in the area between 11:00 a.m. and noon that day to come forward and for residents to check outdoor surveillance for footage that might identify the vehicle or occupants. No specific suspects or arrests are mentioned in the material provided.

If anyone was near Mount Rainier High School on November 22, 2018, or has surveillance that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
