Boston Farley, 23, and 24-year-old Richard Williams were shot and killed on May 15 as they were pulling out of a gas station parking lot in the 1200 block of South Wilmington Avenue, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release.
The gunman, who was waiting on the sidewalk when he opened fire on Farley and Williams, got into a white pickup truck that drove away following the shooting, the Los Angeles Times reported shortly after the incident.
Williams was found inside the vehicle following the shooting and died at the scene.
Farley, who had a 1-year-old son, was taken to a hospital, where he died later that evening, the Times reported.
“He lived for his son,” Farley’s older sister Alaricka Hayes said. “He was not into gangs. He was a good kid. He was a good soul,” she told the Times.
Authorities and family members will announce the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the killings during a 9 a.m. news conference at Compton City Hall.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
