The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the distribution of a $20,000 reward fund today to two individuals who provided information to law enforcement that led to the apprehension and conviction of the persons responsible for the murder of Melody Ross.
On October 30, 2009, at approximately 10:00 p.m. an unidentified shooter fired into a group outside of Wilson High School following the homecoming football game. Melody was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital, but succumbed to her injuries.
As a result of the information provided, two suspects were arrested, Tom Vinson and Davion Davis, and ultimately convicted.
“It is important that the County of Los Angeles have an unwavering stance against random acts of violence,” said Supervisor Knabe. “Two witnesses came forward and were instrumental in the apprehension and conviction of those guilty of this senseless crime. I hope that Ms. Ross’s family can find some peace in justice being served.”
