Eron Mull, 18 [Updated]
Died Jan. 12, 2008 at 11:45 p.m.
Eron Mull, an 18-year-old black man, was shot to death Saturday, Jan. 12, in West Los Angeles outside of the nightclub Level Ten near La Cienega Boulevard and Rosewood Avenue.
A fight in the nightclub spilled into the parking lot of nearby Norm's restaurant, and a radio call went out to officers from the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood Division, said Officer Norma Eisenman, an LAPD spokeswoman.
Arriving at the scene about 11:15 p.m., officers heard gunfire from an alley, where they discovered Mull with a gunshot wound to the neck. He was declared dead at the scene. Eight people who tried to flee from the area were detained for questioning. One suspect is at large.
According to family members, Mull was a Los Angeles City College student bound for Prairie View A&M University, where he planned to study electrical engineering. He had played the drums since early childhood and taught other music students at a summer band camp. He also participated in a police-clergy council at LAPD's Newton Division.
His mother said he was never in the nightclub, but at a nearby restaurant. He was trying to draw other people away from the fight when he was killed, she said.

Eight reader comments about Eron Mull
Life is a gift from GOD, and on Jan 12th 2008 a gift named Eron Michael Mull was taken away. Only 18 yrs young just begining to understand life himself. Eron was and will always be dear to me i loved him like my own son though he was my nephew. In my heart he will always live. He was an old soul in a young body. His mother my sister had no other children, so as you can imagine her heart is heavy with grief. The yellow rose i kept from his funeral seems to tell a story. Though it has long dried, the color is still vibrant and fresh as though it were still alive. I believe Eron lives like the flower, because he will forever live in my heart. Fight on little sister weeping endureth for a night but joy comes in the morning. The blackness of night is passing i can see the breaking of day.

Wow, I can't believe this kid is dead! I feel extremely sorry for his family and friends. My heart goes out to them! I used to go to school with Eron; I even had him for a class. He always seemed so full of life! If there's one thing I remember most about this young man, its that he ALWAYS wore a warm and compassionate smile on his face, each time he enter the classroom...

Justice has been done. Mr. Webb, enjoy your new life as a worthless inmate of the State of California. It's too bad that a picture of your victim cannot be put into your cell so you can look at it 24/7/365!

Although I never met this beautiful spirit in person, My son knew him from school and attested to the wonderful person he was...I kept his memorial card amongst my belongings and when I moved last year I happened upon it...The picture of this beautiful boy and his lovely mother, standing together with such hope for the future, breaks my heart anew each time I gaze at it...there are really no words to fully convey my feelings about this, but it is a pervading sadness that fills my eyes with tears...I cry for all the mothers and extended family members that suffer such ugly and unnecessary losses of young loved ones...Holding out hope for better days....

There is a valuable gift and reward of life we have have in our children. I gave all I could to invest in my son and only child. My heart was broken very deeply. Yet justice has been served in the legal system. Kenneth Webb who murdered my son is in jail for life. I only pray for his soul and I do forgive. We are accountable for ignorance. We must find a way to help our youth stop violent crimes and live. He took the wrong life and has to spend the rest of his life serving time for it.
