Colby Young, 29, male, Black/African American, was shot and killed just after 2 a.m. on July 11, 2025, in a parking lot in East Hollywood, Los Angeles. Officers responding to reports of gunfire at 4204 Beverly Boulevard near Normandie Avenue found Colby Young on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head, and Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
The location sits within a small strip mall, and the investigation was assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department's West Homicide Bureau.
By the following days, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner publicly identified the victim as Colby Young and ruled the death a homicide. Records connected to the case described the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds and listed the incident as occurring in a parking lot in East Hollywood.
Authorities did not release suspect information, and there were no reports of arrests in connection with the killing. Early bulletins from the scene noted that detectives had no immediate description of a suspect, and subsequent updates confirming the victim's identity still reported that suspect details were unavailable. Community memorial pages later reflected the date and city of the shooting but did not add investigative developments or arrests.
