On July 25, 2002, 28-year-old Sherry Diane Blackmon was recorded by coroner records as having died after being strangled at 1332 W. 95th Street in Westmont. The death was investigated by the Los Angeles County sheriff's office and the cause of death listed in official records is strangulation.
Blackmon was a 28-year-old Black woman. Beyond the basic coroner-record details of age, race, address and manner of death, there is little publicly available information about her life, family or occupation in the contemporary records reviewed. The entry in the homicide archive is brief and draws solely from Los Angeles County coroner's information and the investigating agency's designation.
Available public records and contemporary news archive listings yield only the coroner's basic entry and the investigating agency designation; no follow-up articles, press releases announcing arrests, or court records linking a suspect or charge to this case were located. At this time the death remains listed in the public homicide archive with no indication of an arrest or prosecution. The case is therefore unsolved in the public record: no arrest or charges have been reported in the sources reviewed.
Status: unsolved, no arrests reported in the sources consulted.
