A story for every victim

Zachary Fellows, 19

Zachary Fellows, a 19-year-old white man, was fatally shot Thursday, Dec. 29, in the 4500 block of Rosecrans Boulevard in West Compton, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Authorities say Fellows was walking along a sidewalk with a woman about 7:45 p.m. when the shooter drove alongside them in a midsize sport-utility vehicle.

“The driver got out, confronted the victim, fired several shots, then got back in the vehicle and fled the scene,” said Sheriff's Deputy Benjamin Grubb.

Fellows was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Grubb said. The woman walking with the victim was unharmed.

No arrests have been made. The shooting was possibly gang-related, officials said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the sheriff's homicide bureau at (323) 890-5500. Tipsters who would like to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (800) 222-8477.
