Lance Ennis, a 41-year-old black man, died when he was shot in the head on Sunday, April 19, 2009, in the 1300 block of East 43 Street in Historic South-Central, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
Ennis was leaving his vehicle about 5:45 a.m. when he was shot in the 1300 block of East 43rd Street near Hooper Avenue, Los Angeles Police Lt. George Macias said.
"It's unknown at this time if there was gang involvement," he said. Ennis was taken to County-USC Medical Center, where he died five hours later.
Homicide detectives with the Newton Community station were investigating the case.

that's ghino the funeral was friday @ 11an he had a nice one and some afterward. it's tradgic when our og's are taken out and his cause for this gang bangin had slowed down to educate the youngsta's. lance was real cool and had a purpose inlife and someoneout there took it away. let's begin to look at the future of ourselves that this violence is not where it's at that goes for any race the hurt and pain of losing a love one is a life time or over whelminess disoite the hurt and pain of the family it's a life gone wasted to the one who commits the crime and is it worth it, lets start think of Jesus who suffered the worst for us all and has use him as an outlook in your own lives if you believe in him and his word. to his @ sisters you both have been my true love ones from way back, keep your heads up, cry when necessary cause the memories of your brother will always be within you . thed you kept it real in the furneral, may God bless the Ennis/Thomas family...

Lance Ennis was such a beautiful person inside and out. His death really shook his family and friends because though he had a hard life growing up, he had completely turned his life around for the better. He was a student at LATTC and he mentored and spoke to the neighboring youth of South Central Los Angeles. No one is perfect, but the good truly do die young. RIP Lance "Chino" Ennis. You were an angel here on earth and you are missed.
