Terrence Jordan Nelson, a 21-year-old black man, died from a gunshot wound on Friday, June 7, in the 4400 block of South Slauson Avenue in Del Rey, according to L.A. County coroner’s records.

The shooter fled on foot and attempted to carjack a vehicle, Radtke said. The carjacking victim, who police have not identified, then ran the man over, injuring him, Radtke said.
Nelson died at 11:15 p.m., coroner’s records show.
The shooter was later arrested and booked on suspicion of murder. LAPD officials have not released his name.
