L.A. County sheriff’s detectives and relatives of the victim will ask for the public’s help Thursday identifying the suspect or suspects responsible for the 2023 shooting death of a 25-year-old man in Compton.
Rhavan Jermaine Mitchell was fatally shot around 4:15 a.m. Dec. 2, 2023, in the 1300 block of South California Avenue, according to the sheriff’s department.
Sheriff’s officials said several of the victim’s relatives were inside a home at the time of the shooting, but were unharmed.
Surveillance footage obtained from the scene shows a possible suspect and vehicle, officials said.
Detectives believe the shooting was a targeted attack, but Mitchell was not believed to be gang-affiliated, sheriff’s officials said.
Sheriff’s investigators will hold a news conference Thursday with members of the victim’s family to ask anyone with information to come forward.
