Summary
- A $20,000 reward is offered for information about the shooting.
- The fatal shooting occurred on August 21, 2025, at a gas station.
- The victim, Marc Sweet, was killed after an altercation.
A reward of $20,000 is now being offered by Los Angeles County officials for any information that helps identify the individual responsible for the fatal shooting of Marc Sweet.
This tragic event took place last year, on the evening of August 21, 2025, at a Shell gas station located in the 9400 block of Washington Boulevard in Pico Rivera. Deputies reported that Sweet, aged 36, was involved in a verbal dispute with a pedestrian near the gas station.
Following the argument, Sweet drove into the gas station parking lot and approached the pedestrian. During the encounter, the suspect fired multiple shots, fatally wounding Sweet, who later succumbed to his injuries at a nearby hospital. The gunman fled the scene on foot and remains at large.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn highlighted the senselessness of the violence, stating, "No one should die because of a disagreement or an argument on the road." She emphasized Sweet's role as a beloved son, sibling, and mentor, urging the community to help bring closure to his loved ones. The reward was approved by the Board of Supervisors following Hahn's motion.
