Lavelle Deshawn Brown, a 34-year-old black man, was shot to death Friday, Jan. 13, in the 2200 block of Larchmont Street in Pomona, according to coroner’s records.
About 11 a.m., Pomona police responded to a call about a shooting in the area, Sgt. Brian Hagerty said. The officers saw a sedan in a frontyard, and Brown and Corin Michella Hensley, 25, were inside with multiple gunshot wounds, Hagerty said.
Brown was pronounced dead at 11:31 a.m.; Hensley died minutes earlier, according to coroner’s records.
Hagerty said Brown was driving the vehicle near the intersection of Larchmont Street and Collingswood Drive when a dark-colored sedan pulled alongside. A gunman then opened fire, striking Brown and Hensley. As the gunman’s car sped away, Brown’s vehicle accelerated forward then stopped on a front lawn, Hagerty said.
