Shooting Death of Ikime Sims

At its meeting held April 15, 2008, the Board took the following action:

The following statement was entered into the record for Supervisor Knabe:

"On Sunday, January 20, 2008, Ikime Sims, 20, was found outside a house near 68th Way and Orcutt Avenue in the City of Long Beach with a gunshot wound to his lower body. He was transported to a local hospital, but died shortly after.

"No one has been arrested in the possible gang-related shooting, and 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."

Therefore, at the suggestion of Supervisor Knabe and on motion of Supervisor Yaroslavsky, seconded by Supervisor Antonovich, unanimously carried (Supervisor Knabe being absent), the Board extended the $10,000 reward offered for any information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the person or persons responsible for the shooting of 20-year-old Ikime Sims, who was killed outside a house near 68th Way and Orcutt Ave., in the City of Long Beach, on Sunday, January 20, 2008.
