Newton detectives this week released a videotape still of two men wanted for the murder of Celerino Reyes, 40, a pallet salesman shot while driving his car in the 1300 block of Mateo Street on Friday, June 8.

There is a $50,000 award available for information leading to the arrest of these suspects. Reyes had been followed from the bank by these older black men--would-be robbers, investigators theorized. Shot at the wheel, Reyes lost control of the car, which crashed into a palm tree on a noisy industrial street a short distance north of the 10 Freeway.

Left, victim Reyes. Earlier, police released this picture of a four-door Chevrolet Cobalt, year 2005-07, silver colored, which the suspects were believed to be driving. Anyone with information is asked to call Newton homicide detectives at (323) 846-6556.
