JOSE ANGUIANO

Motion - On August 15, 2006, at approximately 3:00 a.m., 17-year old Jose Anguiano was fatally stuck by an unknown vehicle near the intersection of Avenue 48 and Eldred Street in the City of Los Angeles. Mr. Anguiano sustained extensive blunt force trauma to his body and was transported to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and render aid to Mr. Anguiano. The person or persons responsible for this crime represent an ongoing threat to the safety of the people of Los Angeles; therefore it is appropriate for the City of Los Angeles to offer a reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Jose Anguiano. THEREFORE MOVE that, by adoption of this motion, the City Council provide an offer of reward for information leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Jose Anguiano, resident of the City of Los Angeles, on August 15, 2006 and in support thereof make the following findings pursuant to Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code: 1. The death of Jose Anguiano was caused by willful misconduct of one or more persons. 2. That this offer of reward is consistent with and taken for the immediate protection of the public peace, health and safety of local residents, as well as visitors to the City, and is consistent with the need to arrest and convict the person or persons who, because of not being apprehended, could by their actions further terrorize and present a continuing and immediate menace to the people of the City of Los Angeles. 3. That what happened to Jose Anguiano is an especially disturbing crime and therefore, as a matter of public policy, the City hereby offers a reward as an added inducement for persons to come forward with information leading to the identification and apprehension of the person or persons responsible for the death of Jose Anguiano. 4. That the sum of $25,000 shall be the aggregate maximum sum of any payment or payments of a City reward in this instance. 5. That the offer of reward shall be in effect for sixty days from the date of the advertisement of the reward by the City Clerk. FURTHER MOVE that the City Clerk be directed to cause notices and/or advertisements to be duly published according to the requirements of Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code, and to thereby cause the offer of reward to become effective.
