BOYLE HEIGHTS : $25,000 Reward Offered in Slaying

The City Council has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the remaining suspect in the April 2 slaying of Jesus (Chuy) Rodriguez.

Rafael Tapia, 20, and a juvenile have been arrested in the case, said police Detective Luis Corona. Both have been charged with murder, he said. A third suspect is being sought.

Rodriguez, 30, was shot by robbers while standing at 4th and Clarence streets, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Family members said he was on his way to visit cousins who live in the Pico-Aliso housing projects and have speculated that Rodriguez was killed by members of a local gang.

Handguns were recovered during the April 29 arrest of one suspect, said police Detective Sal Nares. Ballistics tests are being done on the weapons to determine if one was used in the shooting, he said.
