Motion - On Wednesday, November 8, 2006, at approximately 5:00 p.m., 19-year old Jose Ramiro Garcia was fatally shot in front of 2929 Palm Grove Avenue, in South Los Angeles. Mr. Garcia was sitting in his vehicle when unknown suspects exited their vehicle, approached Mr. Garcia, and shot him. Mr. Garcia was able to drive a short distance before crashing into a parked car. The suspects ran back to their vehicle and fled the scene. Mr. Jose Ramiro Garcia was transported to a nearby medical center where he succumbed to his injuries. 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 Ramiro Garcia. 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 Ramiro Garcia on November 8, 2006, and in support thereof, make the following findings pursuant to Division 19, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code: 1. That the death of Jose Ramiro Garcia was caused by the 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 in the City. 3. That what happened to Jose Ramiro Garcia, 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, apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Jose Ramiro Garcia. 4. That the sum of $50,000 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.
