Motion - On Wednesday, January 25, 2006, at approximately 9:00 am, 14-year old Emmery Munoz was found dead in the loading dock area of the business located at 1513 Marisol Street, in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department reports that the motive for this homicide is unclear and that there are no suspects in the case.
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 Emmery Munoz.
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 Emmery Munoz, residents of the City of Los Angeles, on January 25, 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 Emmery Munoz 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 rights of persons in the City.
3. That what happened to Emmery Munoz 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 Emmery Munoz.
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.
