Los Angeles
– The ALADS Board of Directors have offered up to a $50,000 reward in addition to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors' $50,000 reward for a total reward of up to $100,000 for
information leading to the apprehension and/or conviction of the suspect(s) responsible for the shooting of an off-duty sheriff’s deputy last night in Alhambra.
Of the shooting, ALADS President Ron Hernandez stated, "This brazen, brutal attack, on one of our fellow deputies, has left our deputies and the law enforcement community outraged. The Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs greatly appreciates the outpouring of support from the public and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. We will not tolerate this bold callous behavior and will dedicate all of our resources available to assist in the investigation to bring the suspect(s) to justice. We are offering, up to a $50,000 reward, to be used by Homicide Bureau to obtain information, or in the assistance of their investigation."
The suspect is described as a male white adult, 20-30 years old, 5’09 - 5’11, wearing a burgundy short-sleeved button down shirt, slim blue jeans, a light fedora hat, sunglasses, and was armed with a handgun. The suspect vehicle is described as a white 4-door, 2010-2014 Kia Sorrento SUV with paper plates.
Investigators believe the suspect changed his clothing shortly after the incident, and is now wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. The suspect left the area in the same vehicle as described above.
ALADS thanks the Board of Supervisors for approving Supervisor Kathryn Barger's motion to offer a $50,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and/or conviction of the suspect(s).
