Los Angeles, CA – A 21-year-old woman was fatally shot in Los Angeles last November, and investigators are now renewing their call for help from the public in identifying those responsible.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Lanai Dees was killed around 12:40 a.m. on Sunday, November 17, 2024, as she drove westbound in the south alley of Century Boulevard, west of South Wilton Place. Dees was allegedly shot by unknown suspects, causing her vehicle to crash into a concrete staircase. She died at the scene from her injuries.
