Shooting Death of 11-year old Jose Luis Garcia Bailey

At its meeting held April 22, 2008, the Board took the following action:

Supervisor Knabe made the following statement:

      "On Sunday, March 16, 2008, Jose Luis Garcia Bailey, 11, was standing with a group of three other individuals in front of a residence at 2024 East 15th Street across the street from where he lived. The four of them were talking when two males approached on foot and started shooting. Jose was fatally shot.

      "No one has been arrested in this case. The victim is not a gang member but Homicide Details believe the suspects are gang members. 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. They can remain anonymous."

      Therefore, on motion of Supervisor Knabe, seconded by Supervisor Antonovich, unanimously carried, the Board established a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the person or persons responsible for the shooting of 11-year-old Jose Luis Garcia Bailey, who was shot and killed across the street from where he lived in front of a residence at 2024 East 15th Street, in the City of Long Beach, on March 16, 2008 at 9:47 p.m.
