Meanwhile, Gov. Pete Wilson added $50,000 to a reward fund for information leading to the arrest of the killer, boosting the total to $75,000. Investigators “in immense force” were assigned to the north Sacramento neighborhood where the victims were shot to death, execution-style, during robberies on the same night of the week, at the same hour.
