REWARD OFFERED
The Los Angeles City Council offered a $25,000 reward Tuesday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the murder of Sharron Lee Dean, who was killed Saturday night in the Crenshaw district.
Dean, 50, an elementary school teacher, was shot through the window of her car near Santa Rosalia Drive and Stocker Street as she headed home after dinner with a friend shortly before 11 p.m. Police said they did not know if the bullet was intended for Dean or was a stray.
At Saturn Street Elementary School, where Dean taught second grade on a part-time basis, Principal Lois Beaubian said Dean’s co-teacher was trying to explain the loss to the 7- and 8-year-old students.
“She is trying to put it in perspective through stories, drawings and small group discussions,” Beaubian said. “This is an unusual circumstance, but we are doing all right.”
Anyone with information can call Det. Brent Josephson of South Bureau homicide at (213) 237-1310.
