On the evening of June 27, 2025, Dajion Hunter, age 34 and male, was shot inside the underground parking structure at 5419 Paramount Boulevard in Long Beach. Calls reporting gunfire came in just before 8 p.m.; arriving officers and bystanders tried to help, but Dajion Hunter, age 34 and male, was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to his upper body.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner later listed the manner of death as homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds, fixing the date of death as Friday, June 27, 2025.
Witness accounts and early field reports described a tense, chaotic few minutes in the dimly lit garage before silence settled over the concrete ramps. Investigators cordoned off the structure and began collecting shell casings and security footage while canvassing nearby businesses along the Paramount Boulevard corridor. In those first hours, homicide detectives said they were still piecing together the motive and the chain of events that led to the killing of Dajion Hunter, age 34 and male, and they appealed for tips from anyone who had seen or heard anything unusual in the area around the time of the shooting.
By the next day, a clearer outline emerged of what happened after the shots. Two possible suspects were seen fleeing the scene in a Kia sedan, a detail that pushed detectives to widen their search beyond the immediate neighborhood and to review traffic cameras and private surveillance along likely exit routes. Even as candles were lit online in memory of Dajion Hunter, age 34 and male, authorities emphasized that the motive remained unknown and that they were still seeking witnesses who might help identify the people who ran.
As of the latest public updates released that weekend and carried by local outlets, there were no arrests and no named suspects in the killing of Dajion Hunter, age 34 and male. Police reiterated their request for information and provided tip lines while the investigation continued, keeping the garage and surrounding blocks as reference points in a case that began with a volley of gunfire and left a family waiting for answers.
