Andru Brandon Ransome, a 20-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on October 29, 2021, near the northbound 101 Freeway at Silver Lake Boulevard in Westlake, California. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner records list the death as a homicide; Ransome died at the scene in the early morning hours despite efforts to save him.

The LAPD investigated the shooting and identified several persons of interest, but no arrests were made in the immediate aftermath. Investigators reported a lack of immediate leads and that witnesses were often reluctant to come forward, which hampered progress. Family and friends held vigils and memorials while detectives continued to follow tips and gather evidence.
