1:45pm | Nearly three months after the shooting that killed 16-year old Wilson High student Melody Ross and injured two other people, the hunt for information continues.
A $20,000 reward for information has been extended because the investigation is ongoing and authorities believe that additional witnesses could shed new light on the situation. Two arrests were made in early November.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the LBPD Homicide Division at 562.570.7244. Caller identity will remain confidential.
The decision to extend the reward was made unanimously by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors yesterday. Supervisor Don Knabe – whose district encompasses Long Beach – made the extension request and the original reward offer shortly after the late October shooting.
