On Monday, Jan. 25, 2010, The Times launched a new version of the Homicide Report. You have arrived at the old blog.
Readers can no longer post new comments on this site, but we encourage you to join the conversation on our new site. The updated Homicide Report features an interactive map and searchable database of the more than 2,600 homicides in L.A. County since January 2007, when Times' reporter Jill Leovy first started this blog with the goal of covering each one.
Comments prior to Jan. 26 will, at least for now, remain archived here, with links provided in the new database.

Have the police checked the gas station's video camera? Were other people buying gas when the incident occurred? I hope someone comes forward for the sake of the family and friends' sake! Something has got to give with this senseless wave of violence within our communities! For the person that believes they did something "cool" and got away with it, G*D saw you and you will surely answer for your crime! To the family, blessings upon you for peace during your bereavement!

When I stand before GOD at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you give me." Joshua22:5

Sean, I love you. We've always been less like cousins and more like brother and sister. I'll always remember the good times cuddie! I love you and will miss your crazy self. I know you're with grandma-ma, she'll take care of you.

Sounds like he was targetted and excecuted. To walk up and shoot him while he is simply pumping gas, he was targetted for a reason. I'm sure the police checked the gas stations camera system if they had one. Alot of businesses don't have them or they are broke.

Is it possible he may have been visting a girl in that area?
i hope detectives have looked in to that , was there a jelous 3rd party involved?
Sean was an awesome person very kind and good hearted , He always had a smile on his face and something to say to put a smile on youre face
and even thow he's in a different place im shure that smile is still there , and none of us will forget him
Saying he'll be missed is an understement

Guns! people say that guns don't kill people, that people kill, thats not so.Take the gun away and your left with what god gave you empty hands. Guns give to much power to anyone who has one,law enforcement included. Cowards are everywhere.
I LOVE YOU SEAN,AND WILL REMEMBER ALL GREAT TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER! FRIENDS FOR LIFE! B
