Trevor Andre Williams, 33

June 13, 2014

Trevor Andre Williams, a 33-year-old black man, was shot and killed Friday, June 13, near South Figueroa Street and West Manchester Avenue in Vermont Knolls, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.

Williams is believed to have shot about 10 times at the occupants of a silver Toyota Camry about 10 p.m., killing Jacinta Walker, 18, and Aveion Bolden, 20, said Los Angeles police Det. Dave Garrido.

A person inside the Camry returned fire at Williams, who was in the passenger seat of a red Nissan Altima.

The driver of the Nissan took Williams to a nearby fire station, at South Main Street and East 108th Street. Williams was found dead inside the car. The driver fled.

Anthony Alonzo Cudger, 25, was arrested June 14 on suspicion of killing Williams, but he released June 17.

Prosecutors declined to file charges because the investigation found that Cudger acted in self-defense, said Greg Risling, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County district attorney.

The shooting was the latest in an ongoing feud between two street gangs – the Main Street Crips and the Hoover Crips, authorities said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Criminal Gang Homicide Division at (213) 485-1383. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

Ms Rigsby...

I think your comments fully explain the whole situation... people in your community have a problem taking responsibility for their actions...

your comment is kind of akin to climbing into a cage full of tigers and blaming getting eating on the zoo keeper who didn't stop you...

maybe your community should stop climbing into cages with tigers and go home and be parents... but that's a lot harder than playing the blame game whilst allowing your children to act like animals...

maybe I'm completely wrong but I am going to hazard a guess that your sadly deceased son never had a father figure at home... I'm also going to hazard a guess that you take absolutely no responsibility for that... someone else's fault, right... you can't be held accountable for who you have children with, same as you can't be held responsible for the way you raised them...

the only way to stop this is to post a policeman in your bedrooms to stop you from making bad decisions when it comes to contraception...

or, your community could grow up, have some pride in itself and stop blaming everybody else when something goes wrong...

The police are responsible for these killing since they are aware of the areas that these shootings occur and they dont setup up post there. Race is given to probably signify that these minorities have no care for their lives by doing these senseless killings so why should the police dept care either. However, I am not surprised because my son was shot and killed and it was not investigated thoroughly just a shut and closed case and not a care for his human life; he was also an innocent victim.
Who is worse, the gang members who kill for a sport, well thats what they do, or the police who is supposed to protect and serve and is yet to visit this duty. This is why I have lost faith with those in authority who misuse their power and would suggest that they consider giving the gangs a paycheck to do the job they are failing at, and the gangs are fearless.
