LOS ANGELES : Reward Offered for Clues in Slaying of Executive
The Los Angeles City Council posted a $25,000 reward Tuesday for information that helps solve the killing of a top financial executive of the Carole Little clothing company.
The May 4 slaying of Rolando P. Ramirez, comptroller for the trendy women’s apparel maker, is part of a bizarre series of killings, assaults and threats against company officials.
Carole Little has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of anyone involved in the killing of Ramirez. He was shot in his car as he waited at a traffic light near 33rd and Main streets in South-Central Los Angeles, five months after the company’s manufacturing director was murdered in similar circumstances in Ladera Heights. In November, 1993, a sewing contractor for Carole Little died in an execution-style attack outside his Glendale plant.
An executive at the plant and his wife were wounded in another shooting a year later.
Meanwhile, another Carole Little executive who has since left the company survived two murder attempts in 1993--a shooting on the freeway and a bomb explosion at her Long Beach home.
Police in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and the FBI are investigating.
