William McKillian Jr., a 19-year-old black man, was shot and killed Tuesday, Nov. 3, in the 600 block of Westminster Avenue in Venice, authorities said.
He was confronted by at least one attacker who opened fire about 3:30 p.m. No arrests have been made, the LAPD said.
The Los Angeles Unified School District sent a memo to teachers in Venice, alerting them about the shooting deaths of two former students on Nov. 3 and asking them to watch for any suspicious activity. The memo said McKillian attended Venice High for a short period.

-Venice Unknown name but use a city name.
Its funny how people tend to post negative things 2yr later. And not have the balls to post there real name.
For the record William C McKillian JR. was still human. And should not have been murdered by another Inhuman: However God knows and I know first on have. We all make mistakes, again it does not give anyone the right to take a life or speck negative of someone who is not here to defends his or her self.
However I will defend his name. William C McKillian Jr. is my Nephew who we miss dearly. So please keep your negative comment to yourself.
If you do no know "GOD" seek him and I can assure you negative things will never come from you mouth? FYI Learn to write a correct sentence before you quote about anything.
Here is a little food for your thought...
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Revelation 21:8 (KJV)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
Matthew 5:21-22 (KJV)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You shall not murder."
Exodus 20:13 (NKJV)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall surely be put to death."
Numbers 35:31 (NKJV)
God has this.

@Sandra, sorry for your loss, but whether venice chose to reveal his name does not make a difference, he is merely stating an opinion. You can defend your loved one that is expected. Everyone has to give an account. He wasn't judging, merely stating what he observed. A lot of time people get mad at the truth and try to lift up their loved ones instead of trying to correct them while on this earth,(not saying you did not do this) It's hard to accept that your loved one is gang member, drug dealer, sometimes its almost okay to some people, but once they get murdered then their angels, just sayin'

This story had touch me, because it's about a person who was caught up in a lifestyle that he was that he was brought into. Now a person caught in the same trap took his life.
