INGLEWOOD, Calif.– The City of Inglewood is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of whoever fatally shot a 19-year-old man.
Christopher Tyrone Moreland Jr. was talking with friends near of East Buckthorn Street and Myrtle Avenue when he was shot May 18, Inglewood police Detective Loyd Waters said.
“We don’t have any description of the suspect or suspects,” Waters said. “No physical description, nothing on the clothes or car or anything from his friends, people just heard shots and Mr. Moreland went down.”
Waters said he didn’t know if it was a gang shooting. Moreland was declared dead at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center about 10:20 that Tuesday night.
“I can tell you it’s in an area where we have had gang shootings, but to my knowledge Mr. Moreland was not in any gang,” Waters said. “He just might have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Anyone with more information is asked to call Waters at (310) 412-5246 or the 24-hour hotline, (888) 41-CRIME. All tips can be made anonymously.
