The Los Angeles Police Department's Homicide Unit is asking for the public's help in finding those responsible for the shooting death of a man at a South Los Angeles gas station in 2023.

On Wednesday, the LAPD again offered a $50,000 reward for anyone with information on the case that could lead to the identification of the person(s) connected to the murder and ultimately an arrest and conviction.

In December 2023, LAPD investigators responded to a fatal shooting at a gas station on the corner of Manchester Avenue and Hoover Street. Police say Marquette Scott, 32, of Victorville, was sitting in his parked car when an unknown suspect approached and shot him.

The motive remains under investigation. The reward was increased on April 3 after LAPD South Bureau Homicide investigators exhausted all investigative lines and resources.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the South Bureau Homicide Detectives at (323) 786-5110.

Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477) or go directly to www.lacrimestoppers.org.
