Justin Ford, 23
Died March 12, 2011 at 3:14 a.m.
Justin Ford, a 23-year-old black man, was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy Saturday, March 12, in the 700 block of West El Segundo Boulevard in Harbor Gateway, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Ford, who was suspected of brandishing a gun at motorists on El Segundo Boulevard in Willowbrook, led Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies on a chase about 3 a.m., according to Sgt. Diane Hecht.
After several minutes, he abandoned his motorcycle in the middle of El Segundo Boulevard just west of the 110 Freeway, removed his helmet and challenged deputies to a fight, she said.
Hecht said deputies fatally shot Ford after he removed what they thought was a handgun from his waist and pointed it at them.
The deputies were not injured, she said. A replica pistol was recovered at the scene.

I attended Bellflower High School with him. When I needed a place to stay he opened his doors to me! He was a very funny and talented guy! The memories we have together will continue to live on. Sorry you had to go so early :( I love you and miss you bro.... Al Noble

Justin, I've known your mom since we were about 9 years old. My heart is hurting for you and especially for her.
I cannot understand why such a wonderful young man was taken from us so early in life. You were just in the beginning stages of finding out what life was about and realizing all your potential.
I'm just in shock and saddened. It just goes to show that the old saying about the good dying young is true, as you were one of the best young men and I was very proud of you! RIP and you will never ever be forgotten, and always loved! God Bless!

Justin even though we lost touch for a while i could honestly never forget you. You were truely one of a kind, you were one i looked up to, someone i confided in and someone i could trust. Justin Ford you were one who i thought had the world in his hands, had the world all figured out and things came easy to. When i was a kid i wanted to be just like you, but you told me one thing the last time i saw you, you said "I am expecting great things from you" and i never forgot it. Now that you arent here with me, i know your in a better place and youre gonna smile down at me from time to time. I also know that no matter what your gonna look out for me like you always use to. Justin you will be truely missed and never forgotten!
R.I.P. BIG BRO I NEVER HAD...

Is it true this young man was killed by the police. Iwas told he was hit on his bike and then shot. Can someone please shed some light, I would hate to look at the law in a negative light.

Horrible news to find out. My prayers go out to Justin's family. Although i lost contact with Justin, it would be like we never lost contact every time I would run into him. He was a warrior with me on the field and off the field, I will miss you broski. See you soon, or see you later.
March 15, 2011 at 10:52 a.m.
Truly sadden by the loss of another black man. I didn't know Justin very well but worked with his Mom and would only see him on those visits to the office. I observed a very pleasant and outgoing young man who had finished military service and was training to be a Paramedic. Never saw a mother more proud and now with this news, all I can say is God take care of his family and friends and help them to heal from this travesty.
March 15, 2011 at 3:47 p.m.
This is my friend I love you always
March 15, 2011 at 5:14 p.m.
Justin and my sister were very good friends at B.H. She later transferred to Mayfair. She and Justin still kept in touch and he came to our Mom's 50th birthday party last March. That was the last time I saw him. We was loved by our family very much. I hope someone can get back to me and let me know about services. I know Krysi would be devastated if she could not make it.
Justin we love you buddy. Other plans have been made for you. I know you're looking down on everyone now the way you looked up to everyone down here. Love you man!! RIP
March 15, 2011 at 6:36 p.m.
You'll always be my brother J. Ford. Too many memories to ever forget you. I'm having such a hard time understanding it and I 'd give the world to have one more conversation with you. You were destined for so many great things. Thank you for letting me be close to you. Love You J.
March 15, 2011 at 8:18 p.m.
Justin, I last saw you at Lab Corp. You drew my blood for a test. It didn't hurt at all. You were an excellent Medical Assistant. I hadn't seen you in years. You and my grandson Trevon were good friends. You were like a grandson to me also. I've prayed to God to keep you and your family near to his heart. You were a young man on the rise in his career and life. A life that was cut short. My heart aches for what happened to you and your family. You will always have our love. God keep you.
March 16, 2011 at 8:42 a.m.
I will never forget how he would make me laugh if I was having a bad day. Justin was truly a great friend and he will be missed. My heart and prayers goes out to his family.
March 16, 2011 at 11:45 a.m.
Justin Ford, we were greatest of friends. Every memory I have of you involves a joke that still to this day makes me laugh. The memories of all the ones you've touched will remain as evidence that your existence was not in vain. No matter what the afterlife brings, brother, I hope you're still inspiring laughter. Rest in Peace, no, not you. As long as I remember you'll always live on, so LIVE ON BROTHER!

It's taken some time for me to write because I still can't believe you are no longer here. I love you so much and I am deeply wounded. How do I move on?? I don't want to go on without you. We have all lost a great man. The memories we share will never be forgotten. You will always remain the love of my life. You will live within me for the rest of my life.

I worked with Justin at GCC for only a short time, but in our passings he was always sweet,respectful and funny. My prayers are with you and your family. Octavia,I know exactly where you are coming from and my heart feels your pain. My heart once felt that same pain 10 yrs ago when my husband was killed. I know how much you TRULY loved that man and I know that if Love alone could have saved him, he never would have died.Keep the faith and know that he will always be with you in spirit...RIP JF....
March 20, 2011 at 10:39 a.m.
It's sad to think he's gone but at least we had the privilege to have him be a part of our lives even if it was for a short period. My Prayers are with you. Every time I thing of Justin I remember one year for halloween in high school he wore a inflatable Elvis costume and would just strut around campus like it was normal but it was so funny he knew how to make people laugh! You will be missed!
March 20, 2011 at 7:41 p.m.
Justin, man, this was/is very hard news. Nothing but memories of us laughing at Global. "Timbo" we spent a lot of time in those rooms just chopping it up. Sorry we lost touch. You were one of the coolest cats I ever met. My heart is broken right now. Love you, and my prayers are out to your family.
March 21, 2011 at 8:35 p.m.
I met you 10th grade and even though I haven't seen you in some time it was still heartbreaking to hear this happened to you. You were a fun, friendly, caring person!!! You left many great and wonderful impressions on many of us. I will never forget you for being you, you will be greatly missed but forever in our hearts and memories. R.I.P Mr. Justin Ford

April 20, 2011 at 11:05 a.m.
WOW Honestly, I am still in shock. I received a text last month that you were killed. In my mind there is no story that could explain how such a kind hearted creature could have their life taken away. I know that every being has their purpose here on earth however yours was so short lived. I have tried not to think of the many good times however I cannot help it every time that I see a motorcycle, cruise down Avalon, go to Inglewood near GCC or even think of GCC you cross my mind and I think about how my friend is no longer with us... I wish the best to you O, his family and everyone else who is also mourning the death of Justin Ford.
I am praying that this gives me some sort of peace or closure.
April 21, 2011 at 9:21 p.m.
I still can't believe this has happened. I went to elementaty, middle and high school with you Justin. I remeber in the sixth grade we did a duet rap together...it still makes me smile thinking about it. You are truely missed and loved. I hope you can see how much everyone misses you.
April 28, 2011 at 11:23 p.m.
Justin, I just found out the news and my heart goes out to all your loved ones. You were a gentlemen. A hard worker. A great friend. I'm glad to have met you and my heart is saddened today. May the brightness of your legacy continue to shine. I love ya brother and will dearly miss ya.
May 2, 2011 at 10:55 a.m.

Justin, i don't know where to start. Not a day has gone by that i have not had you on my mind. i come on here often always wanting to tell how much i miss you but never know the words to say. tho i never met them, i hope ur family is doing well especially your mom &siblings. i know how much u cared for them &im sure this still isnt the easiest for any of them. i was driving by bellflower stadium the other day &was brought back to the first time we had met lol you always used to remind me of that night. you had the best memory. agh i miss you more than you know each and every day. that big ol smile and silly little laugh. just wish i could give you a big ol hug again. love ya superman &always thinking about you. take care j. ford

It seems like this was a fine young man, what was the reason for his bizarre behavior? Was there a known/unknown mental illness? A drug problem? By reading all of the loving posts on here I may assume that Justin Ford was not your typical gangster. His untimely end should not go unpunished providing he was an innocent victim of law enforcement.
Please LA Times, provide with an update to this story.

TO MS. SOULIEL.... not to be rude but NO!!!! MY SON was not a drug addict, an alcohlic, nor was he 51/50 in any type of way. This WAS AN INNOCENT YOUNG MAN CAUGHT UP IN YOUR CORRUPTED LAW ENFOCERMENT. so b4 u judge, assume negativity about an individual consider they famil nd friends u are hurting when askigng certain questions. hope i answerd all ur concerns. PS Justin also was an Army researvist. tuhis mother

Sitting at this laptop thinking of you like always.. I was just on myspace looking at your pics and our silly convos, LOL.. A little over a year and it still seems so unreal.. Soo hard reading these comments because it slaps you with a taste of reality.. The one thing i adore is who you were as a person.. Genuine heart, and a beautiful soul.. Such a dang clown always had every1 laughing.. :-) We've been friends sense what 4th grade and boy we were some crazy kids.. My prayers go to your parents (FAMILY).. This shows just how much of a great son they've raised.. Loved by soo many that LOVE and MISS you.. Even still you keep a smile on all of our faces.. WELL LOVE YOU FRIEND AND MISS YOU SO SOO MUCH.. RESTING.IN.PARADISE Till we clown again...

I have to agree with your friends' comments. You did possess amazing intelligence and truly were a beautiful soul. You were so young. But, you seemed wise beyond your years. I always enjoyed listening to you speak and reading your words. I like coming here to read the posts. I hope this page stays up for years to come.
