An investigation continued Thursday into the killing of a 30-year-old Las Vegas man who was gunned down during an argument near a taco stand in the Florence-Firestone section of South Los Angeles.
Dashawn Coleman, whose name was released by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, was killed around 2 a.m. May 17 in the area of Holmes and Slauson avenues, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
A man who was working at the taco stand at the time told NBC4 he heard as many as eight gunshots after a verbal dispute turned into a physical fight.
“I didn’t move,” Jordan Guzman told the station. “I was just frozen, no nerves. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know to run or to stay.”
Coleman’s family members told Telemundo 52 that Coleman was a “loving person.”
“He took care of everybody,” the dead man’s brother, Brett Balley, told the station.
No arrests have been reported and a description of the shooter was not immediately available.
