LAPD releases surveillance video of fatal gas station ambush

US

Police released surveillance footage Wednesday showing the brutal murder of a man who was seated in his car at a Los Angeles gas station in December of last year.

Marquette Scott, a 32-year-old Victorville resident, was seated in his parked vehicle next to a gas pump on the 8500 block of South Hoover Street when he was approached by an unknown gunman and shot to death, the Los Angeles Police Department stated in a news release.

The video shows a suspect in a green hooded jacket and green pants getting out of the back seat of a white four-door SUV and then firing multiple rounds through the driver’s side window of Scott’s vehicle.

A second suspect wearing all black is also seen exiting the SUV from the passenger side back seat and firing multiple shots at unknown targets off camera.

After the shooting, both suspects get back into the SUV and it drives away. The entire incident occurred in less than 10 seconds.

Scott died from his wounds after the shooting. There was no word on whether the shots fired by the second gunman injured anyone.

The motive for the shooting remains unknown and police are still searching for the gunmen.

A $50,000 reward was offered on April 3 of this year after detectives “Exhausted all investigative leads and resources,” the Police Department stated.

Anyone with information about the incident was urged to call homicide detectives at 323-786-5110. Those who prefer to remain anonymous can call L.A. Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
