On Saturday, May 23, 2020, at approximately 4:10 p.m., Pasadena Police Officers responded to the 1500 block of North Lake Avenue regarding a shooting that had occurred. Officers arrived on scene and located an unresponsive male who was later identified as 24-year-old Ray Magee Jr. of Duarte. He was riding inside a black Toyota Camry with another male. Magee was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The second victim is a 23-year old male who sustained a gunshot wound but survived. Moreover, the second victim was not a Pasadena resident either.
Surveillance video obtained by the Pasadena Police Department, captured the suspect vehicle. The vehicle is described as a silver 2017 Dodge Charger with tinted windows. The suspect(s) responsible for the murder and attempted murder of the two victims were last seen fleeing southbound on Lake Avenue.
Since the initial investigation, homicide detectives have been following up on information provided by witnesses. Although the motive remains unconfirmed, all information and investigative leads suggest a feud between a local Pasadena gang and a rival gang from the Duarte area which recently resurfaced in early May 2020, prior to this murder.
Homicide Detectives continue to seek additional information and any witnesses who may have information regarding this murder and attempted murder.
Anyone with further information pertaining to this murder and attempted murder can call the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241 or may report information anonymously by calling “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), use your smartphone by downloading the “P3 Tips” mobile app on Google Play or the Apple App Store or by using the website lacrimestoppers.org.
