Fatal Shooting of Zuri Williams

At its meeting held February 19, 2008, the Board took the following action:

Supervisor Burke made the following statement:

      "On September 5, 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved a reward of $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the death of Zuri Williams. The reward offer was last extended on August 21, 2007, but will expire on February 27, 2008.

     "On July 20, 2006, Zuri Williams and her 5-year old son drove to a local liquor store located in the 1000 block of El Segundo Boulevard, in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. As Ms. Williams began to enter the store, a vehicle drove by and fired a volley of gunshots, striking her in the stomach. She subsequently died a short time later.

      "Ms. Williams was the mother of three and had recently graduated from nursing school, achieving her degree as a vocational nurse.

     "The Sheriff's investigation has revealed two males standing outside the store's entrance were the intended targets. However, Ms. Williams was killed with her 5-year old son witnessing this heinous crime."

Therefore, on motion of Supervisor Burke, seconded by Supervisor Yaroslavsky, unanimously carried, 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 fatal shooting of Zuri Williams on July 20, 2006, while entering a liquor store in the 1000 block of El Segundo Blvd., in an unincorporated area of the County.
