Efrem Reynolds, a 36-year-old black man, was found shot to death Monday, May 16, near the interchange of the 110 and 105 freeways in Broadway-Manchester, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.
About 7:20 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a shots fired call at a homeless camp, LAPD Det. Nathan Kouri said. A man led officers to Reynolds, who was inside a tent with gunshot wounds, Kouri said.
Reynolds, who had set up camp with about a dozen others in the area, died at the scene.
