Gooden was standing near the 1300 block of West 69th Street on the afternoon of July 28, 2020, when multiple suspects reportedly stepped out of their vehicles and opened fire. Police say Gooden was struck in the shooting and collapsed near the location, prompting an immediate emergency response.
Detectives from the LAPD’s South Bureau Homicide Division have emphasized the importance of community cooperation in solving the case. “We are appealing to the public to come forward with any information,” said a spokesperson for the division. “Even the smallest detail about the suspects or the vehicles involved could be crucial in bringing justice to Dominic Ladon Gooden and his family.”
Authorities are particularly focused on identifying two vehicles believed to be involved in the shooting: a gray 2013 Nissan Sentra four-door sedan and a silver 2005 Mercedes-Benz C-320 four-door sedan. Detectives believe these vehicles may hold critical evidence linking the suspects to the deadly attack.
The Los Angeles City Council recently approved the $50,000 reward as part of an ongoing effort to solve violent crimes in South Los Angeles. Officials have stressed that tips leading to arrests will be eligible for the reward.
Residents and witnesses with any information are urged to contact LAPD Detective Franco at 323-786-5128. Tips can also be submitted anonymously via Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or through the website www.lacrimestoppers.org. “No piece of information is too small,” added the spokesperson. “Community involvement can make the difference in solving this case.”
