CBS Los Angeles May 4, 2022 Authorities say they are looking for two men in connection with a gun battle that erupted at an illegal pot shop in Compton that killed one of their crew and injured a security guard. Kahlel Malik Lundy, 23, and Keith Terrion Rachel, 21, were identified Wednesday as two of the four people who tried to rob a smoke shop in the 1500 block of South Wilmington Avenue on April 3, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The robbery turned into a gun battle between them and an armed security guard working at the business. The security guard was shot in the face and neck, but he survived his injuries and has since been released from the hospital. But one of the four would-be robbers was not as fortunate – sheriff's investigators say about 30 minutes after the botched robbery, a gunshot victim dropped off at Martin Luther King Hospital was determined to be one of the smoke shop robbers.
