Family Seeks Justice 15 Years After Double Homicide In South L.A.
Loved ones on Tuesday pleaded with the public for help solving a 2008 double homicide in South Los Angeles. They reminded the community that the victims’ killer is still out there. Clifton Hibbert Jr. was only weeks from graduating from Cal State Northridge when he and his friend, Kenneth Patterson, were fatally shot after returning to another friend’s apartment during a night out on March 20, 2008. They were on spring break at the time, and Hibbert was hoping to get a scholarship for an internship in Washington, D.C. Hibbert, 22, an aspiring business law attorney, and Patterson, 23, were gunned down outside the building and the unknown assailant got away. The gunman was with a woman, and both were seen running away from the scene. Hibbert’s mom, Donna Brown, said that 15 years after her son was shot, she still hears about gun violence and that trauma and heartbreak lingers. “This kind of act, homicide, it interrupts a family’s life,” she said Tuesday.
