Reward Extended For Information Related to Fatal Shooting in Long Beach
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion introduced by Supervisor Don Knabe to extend the offer of a $10,000 dollar reward for information regarding a shooting in the City of Long Beach.
On Tuesday June 21, 2011, Pablo Ortiz, 35, was riding his bicycle in the 2100 block of East 14th Street in Long Beach. While the victim was riding his bike he was confronted by an unknown suspect who fatally shot him.
No one has been arrested in this case. Detectives have no leads on a suspect. Investigators believe it would be beneficial to offer a reward in this case which may prompt reluctant witnesses to come forward and provide information to identify the individual(s) responsible for this crime. They can remain anonymous.
