FEELS LIKE JERRY ANNAN WAS AMBUSHED

FEELS LIKE JERRY ANNAN WAS AMBUSHED

Author: Melissa Morgan, Bleav January 12, 2025 Duration: 32:04
WHO would want to harm a beloved husband, father, son, and community activist who gave so much of him self to the military and veteran organizations? A man who performed any fun raising concert to support the troops? Jerry Annan was a Southern California musician and Karaoke host who was treasured by everyone he met. And he never met a stranger. November 20, 1993 was like many other days with Jerry hosting Karaoke at the Hideaway Club in Lakewood, CA. After the club closed Jerry was loading his equipment into his pickup truck with a camper shell over the truck bed. The female bartender even helped him take some of the equipment to his vehicle. An ear witness heard some arguing on the street before a shot. 4 white or light skinned Hispanic men shot Jerry for his equipment using two of their own vehicles while 2 of the perpetrators drove away in Jerry's truck. It was abandoned in Long Beach the following day. All of this including his life for some sound equipment?!?!?! If you know anything about what happened to Jerry Annan please contact Detective Shaun McCarthy at the LASD Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500
