Police are requesting for the public’s help in identifying two people who were caught on surveillance video fleeing the scene of a murder in the Florence-Graham area, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday.
A $10,000 reward is being offered after an 18-year-old man named Marshawn Jackson was shot to death.
Jackson's mother made a heartfelt plea through tears during a news conference, calling her son a "good kid" who loved his family.
What's most heartbreaking to Jackson's mother is that her son's shooting death comes on the anniverary - to the exact date - that her other son was shot and killed.
Jackson's cousin also spoke out at the news conference, and said he can’t imagine why anyone would want to shoot the 18-year-old.
"Marshawn was a good kid, he wasn't a gang banger," Christopher Eskridge said.
Jackson was killed in a shooting that took place on Aug. 27 on the 9500 block of Parmelee Avenue in unincorporated Los Angeles.

A man got into an argument with Jackson before shooting him, investigators said.
Police said they hope the $10,000 reward will encourage anyone with information to come forward.
