A beloved mother and her daughter were shot to death at a red light in California by her ex-boyfriend, according to police. 

Tameeka ‘La’Von’ Hall, 45, and her 22-year-old daughter Ma’Laysia ‘Lay Lay’ Martin were allegedly ‘gunned down’ by Hall’s estranged boyfriend Donte Lamont Brown, 41, on Tuesday in Compton. 

Deputies with the Compton Sheriff’s Station responded around 7.05pm to reports of a shooting at the intersection of Caldwell Street and South Central Avenue and found both women suffering from gunshot wounds, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. 

Investigators believe Donte, who remains on the run, ‘drove up alongside the victims in their vehicle while it was stopped at the signal light,’ before allegedly opening fire on his ex-partner and her child. 

Tameeka then exited the drivers side of the vehicle before falling to the ground while the driverless car traveled across the street and smashed into a traffic signal pole with Ma’Laysia inside. 

They were both pronounced dead at the scene after the mother was discovered lying on the ground while her daughter was found unresponsive in the passenger’s seat. 

After the alleged attack, Donte fled the scene and has not been seen or heard from since. He is known to frequent both Compton and Long Beach, according to police. 

He is ‘considered to be armed and dangerous,’ the department said, adding that ‘detectives have exhausted all leads’ and now need the public’s help locating the suspect.

Police believe Tameeka’s ex-boyfriend, Donte Lamont Brown, 41, is the suspect responsible for their deaths. He is currently on the run 

It is unclear what transpired between Donte and Tameeka leading up to the fatal shooting and how long they were together. 

DailyMail.com contacted the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department for more information. 

A GoFundMe page, created by Tameeka’s brother Uron, and another family member, Habeeb Rasheed, shared beautiful images of the late mother and daughter. 

Habeeb said when he got word that Hall and Martin had been ‘gunned down,’ he had ‘hoped’ it would be about ‘a small family reunion,’ but instead, he received unimaginable news. 

‘It’s pretty hard to believe that this is happening and I am here writing this. I am here with my Nephew Uron Hall her brother helping with funeral arrangements and the logistics of picking up remains,’ he continued. 

He went on to call Donte a ‘coward’ that ‘took a shining star’ from his family. 

‘I am dealing with the shock and rage that one has when it’s their own family. These were beautiful Black Queens even though the story of their end was horrible,’ he added. 

Tameeka worked at a school district for several years, while Ma’Laysia was a ‘brilliant young artist,’ he added.

As of Sunday afternoon, more than $2,800 was raised to support the grieving family. 

A funeral service has been scheduled for the mother and daughter on April 24, according to the donation page. 

Debbie Shaw, who was at the scene consoling someone who knew the victims, told ABC 7 she lost her brother just years before around the corner.

‘I can’t imagine the pain they were going through at the time. Just to come out here to see a mother and a daughter – that’s really heartbreaking,’ she said. 

Compton City Councilman Johnathan Bowers also spoke on the double tragedy, telling the outlet: ‘It’s just very tragic for our community. We don’t like to hear anything like that. We don’t want that sort of thing to happen in anyone’s community.

‘We’ve had enough violence occur here in Compton. We’re not pleased with this at all.’

Ronnie, another local who brought flowers to the growing memorial at the intersection, told Fox 11 just how often crime ravages through the city. 

‘Sometimes, you can’t even have a party [at] your house because somebody [will] drive by and shoot up the party. It’s ridiculous,’ she said. 

‘When I heard on the news, being a mother and a woman, it just touched my heart. I felt for the family.’ 

In a message directed at Donte, Ronnie told the outlet: ‘I hope you get caught because you need to go to prison. 

‘You need to stay off the streets. Why don’t you go and turn yourself in, and we’re going to pray for you anyways.’
