Mike Gipson was formally sworn in as the new representative of California Assembly District 64 at a ceremony at California State Universiy Dominguez Hills, Sat. Feb. 7, 2015.

His wife, Lacresha, still hopes the hit-and-run driver that killed her three-year-old son, D’Ancee Barnes on March 18 1989, will be apprehended.
“Anytime I hear of another child being killed it’s like opening a wound,” Lacresha Gipson pleaded in 2008. “I visualize it all over again.”

In 2012 a KCAL-9 "Crimestoppers" episode featured the case and pleaded for leads. The episode can still be seen on You Tube. Before the Gipsons courted and married, Lacresha had D’Ancee by another relationship. On March 18, 1989, about 8:55 p.m. the mother was visiting her brother on Van Ness Avenue in Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The exact location was south of Gage Avenue.

She left the boy with relatives inside the house while she was talking to a tow truck driver about a flat tire on her car. Before anyone could stop him, her son ran out of the house and into the street, apparently trying to join his mother on the other side.
A 1974-1985 two-door white (or light brown) Cadillac (an Eldorado?), travelling north, hit him, killing him.
The driver stopped momentarily, got out of the Cadillac, looked at the boy laying on the pavement, then jumped back in the Cadillac and continued northbound. People familiar with the case speculate she may have panicked, she may have been incapacitated, or she may have had an outstanding warrant.
She was described as a Black female, 32-34, approximately 5’6” tall, weighing 110-120 pounds.  The tow truck man provided the description of the car and its driver to the police.  If the man guessed the woman's age correctly, she'd be in her fifties as of 2015.

In 2012 the LAPD arranged for a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.
