On Friday, May 13, 2011, at approximately 2:20 a.m., Alonzo Ester was driving into his driveway at the 4200 block of Hillcrest Drive in the City of Los Angeles. Ester was returning home after closing his business; a nearby nightclub. Upon his arrival, and while still seated inside his vehicle, Ester was shot multiple times by an unknown suspect. After the shooting, the suspect entered into the victims car and searched the victims pockets as the victim sat in the drivers seat mortally wounded. The suspect exited and ran northbound from the location to an awaiting vehicle. Area residents called 911, and the Los Angeles City Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene. Alonzo Ester was transported to University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Ronald Reagan Medical Center. While at the hospital, Ester succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 3:13 a.m. On July 1, 2011, a witness came forward and told the detective that Dennis Brown had admitted to being the killer. Subsequently, detectives were able to corroborate and confirm the information from the witness was accurate. The defendant pled guilty to charges of Manslaughter and Attempted Robbery, and was sentenced to 16 years in State prison. As you can see, these awards do get paid out but it takes you, the community, to stand up and assist us in solving these needless tragedies. Yesterday, a $100,000 reward was offered for information leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of the persons responsible for the May 12, 2014 firebombing attack on the Ramona Gardens housing project. If your conscience doesn’t drive you to call authorities, try letting your greed motivate you. Anyone with information regarding any unsolved crimes in Los Angeles is urged to call the Criminal Gang Homicide Division at (213) 485-4341. Anonymity is guaranteed.
