Delroy Anthony Bogle, a 36-year-old man, tragically lost his life on April 17, 2018, in Inglewood, California. According to the Los Angeles County coroner's records, Bogle was fatally shot in a strip mall located on the 1100 block of North La Brea Avenue. The incident occurred in the afternoon, around 3:30 p.m., when a car with a female driver and a male passenger arrived at the parking lot. Shots were fired from inside the vehicle, resulting in Bogle's death at the scene.
Another man, who was a regular at Hungry Joe's Jamaican Restaurant where the argument leading to the shooting took place, also succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital. A third man sustained non-fatal injuries during the incident.
The shooting was reportedly preceded by an argument between two women inside the restaurant. Witnesses mentioned that one of the women involved in the argument had threatened to return, which she did, accompanied by a male accomplice. Security footage from the restaurant identified a man and a woman who were present before the shooting as persons of interest. Several witnesses confirmed that the woman seen in the footage was the shooter. The Inglewood Police Department urged anyone with information about the shooting to contact their Homicide Section or the anonymous hotline.
In the aftermath of the shooting, the investigation led to the arrest and charging of individuals involved in the incident. The case, titled "People v. Westby," included charges against the suspects for the murder of Delroy Anthony Bogle and another victim, Marcus Anthony Blackman. The charges also encompassed the attempted, willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder of a third individual who survived the shooting. The legal proceedings aimed to bring justice to the victims and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.

The investigation and subsequent legal actions underscored the efforts of law enforcement and the judicial system to address such violent crimes and ensure that those responsible are prosecuted.
