$15,000 Reward Offered in Fatal West Athens Drive-By Shooting of Innocent 22-Year-Old

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has announced a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect responsible for the fatal drive-by shooting of Raejonette Morgan in the West Athens neighborhood.

On July 2, 2024, Morgan, 22, was driving on Vermont Avenue near the 105 Freeway when a blue Honda Civic pulled alongside her vehicle and fired multiple shots. Investigators believe she was an innocent victim of mistaken identity in a potential gang-related incident.

“This tragic loss deeply affects our entire community,” said Michael Rodriguez, a local community safety advocate. “We urge anyone with information to come forward and help bring justice for Raejonette and her family.”

The suspect vehicle is described as a blue, two-door 2016-2018 Honda Civic sedan with a spoiler, louvers on the rear window, all-black wheels, and a loud exhaust.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. The Inglewood Community Center will also be hosting a community safety workshop on May 10th to discuss ways to prevent such violence.
