The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved a $75,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Christopher Diangelo Lattier. He was shot in the neck and arm on August 16, 2009 at Main Street and 84th Place. Lattier’s friend, Terrell Dewayne, was also shot, but he survived the attack.
Police say Lattier was standing in a yard in the 100 block of East 84th Place near Main Street, when a van pulled up and a man got out, yelling gang-related slurs. According to police, Lattier and Henderson denied being in a gang, but the man pulled out a handgun and shot them. City Councilwoman Jan Perry asked for the reward, saying the attacker “could further terrorize and present a continuing and immediate menace.”
