Jayvon Brister, 18, a black man, was shot multiple times at Century Boulevard and Denver Avenue just west of the Harbor Freeway about 8:20 p.m. Monday, July 30. He died at 8:57 p.m.

He and a companion, a 21-year-old black man, were on a bicyle, one on the handlebars, said LAPD Det. Mark Hahn. They were attacked by drive-by or walk-up shooters. The two victims ran and made it not quite a block. Brister had a chest wound and later died at a hospital. His companion was shot in the hand and survived.
