Leroy Moore Obituary, Death – Authorities in Los Angeles County have identified the man who lost his life in an early morning incident last week in Huntington Park. The individual was identified as 53-year-old Leroy Moore, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported that the incident occurred around 3:15 a.m. on Friday in the 2000 block of Randolph Street, near South Alameda Street. Deputies responded to calls about a person in distress and arrived at the scene alongside Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel. Upon their arrival, first responders found Moore unresponsive. Despite medical efforts, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officials said Moore appeared to have sustained multiple gunshot wounds, though investigators are still working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the event. His place of residence has not yet been released publicly, and authorities have not commented on whether he had any known connections to the area where the incident took place.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau has taken over the investigation. Detectives are conducting interviews, reviewing evidence from the scene, and searching for any potential witnesses who may have seen or heard anything unusual around the time of the incident. No details have been released regarding possible suspects or motives, and officials say it remains too early in the investigation to draw conclusions.
Randolph Street, located near several residential and commercial areas, was temporarily blocked off as investigators processed the scene. Patrol cars and crime scene units remained on-site for several hours Friday morning as detectives worked to gather forensic evidence, including shell casings and surveillance footage from nearby buildings.
Law enforcement officials have asked anyone with knowledge about what happened or with potential video evidence—such as home security or dashcam footage—to contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau. The public can reach detectives directly at 323-890-5500. For those wishing to remain anonymous, tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers by calling 800-222-TIPS (8477) or by visiting lacrimestoppers.org.
Residents of the Huntington Park community have expressed concern over the recent violence, emphasizing the need for peace and cooperation to help law enforcement bring closure to the case. Several people in the area described hearing loud noises in the early morning hours but were unsure of their origin until police arrived.
In an official statement, a representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department extended condolences to Moore’s family and loved ones. “Our hearts go out to those affected by this loss,” the statement read. “We are working diligently to uncover the facts and ensure justice is served.”
Authorities have not released any information suggesting that the public is in immediate danger. However, they have reminded residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious behavior or activities to law enforcement.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office will continue to work closely with investigators to finalize the cause and manner of death as part of the ongoing case review.
This incident marks yet another reminder of the challenges local communities face with maintaining safety and addressing acts of violence. Huntington Park officials have said they are committed to supporting law enforcement in their efforts to prevent future tragedies through community engagement and crime prevention initiatives.
As the investigation continues, Moore’s family and friends are left grieving the unexpected loss of a loved one. Authorities have not shared any funeral or memorial details, as the family has requested privacy during this time.
The Sheriff’s Department is expected to release additional information once investigators confirm more details about what led to the incident. For now, officials are asking anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, to reach out and assist in helping the investigation move forward.
