Leroy Moore, 53, a Black male, was found shot on a pathway inside an apartment complex in the 2000 block of Randolph Street near South Alameda Street in Huntington Park around 3:15 a.m. on Friday, October 10, 2025. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene, and the county medical examiner later identified him by name. The quiet predawn hour left little more than echoing sirens and the glow of crime-scene lights in a residential pocket where the walkway cuts between buildings, a stretch
that neighbors use as a shortcut and that became, for a few hours, the center of a homicide investigation.
The medical examiner classified the death as a homicide and attributed it to multiple gunshot wounds. Records connected to the case list Moore’s age and basic descriptors, and note the formal pronouncement of death that Friday, anchoring the timeline investigators would later piece together. A case number—2025-15985—appears in the public listing tied to the killing, a stark line in an official ledger that otherwise reveals little about motive or sequence beyond the abrupt violence of those shots.
Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau took over the investigation and asked for the public’s help. As of the latest reports released in the days following the shooting, authorities had not announced any arrests, nor named a suspect or suspects. Appeals for tips went out with a phone number for anyone who might have seen or heard something in the minutes before or after the gunfire, a reminder that answers often come from fragments—an unfamiliar car, a hurried figure, a camera pointed just the right way.
