$10K Reward Offered For Information In Fatal Willowbrook Drive-By Shooting
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that will lead to the killer of a 22-year-old man who was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in the unincorporated Willowbrook area last summer.
Kejon "Wayne" Atkins was standing on a sidewalk in the 1800 block of East 126th Street, near Wilmington Avenue, on July 23, 2015 when several shots were fired from a car, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Atkins, who was struck in the head, was taken to a hospital, where he died four days later, sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Juanita Navarro-Suarez said.
Two suspect vehicles – one a gold, older-model, four-door sedan and the other a maroon Pontiac Aztec that was possibly two-toned with gray lower panels – were seen heading south onto Wilmington Avenue and then west onto El Segundo Boulevard, Navarro-Suarez said.
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
