Description Released in Fatal Kidnapping
Police have released a composite sketch of one of the two men sought in the Feb. 8 abduction and killing of Christopher Rawlings.
Rawlings died when he was thrown from the trunk of his Bentley when it crashed into a telephone pole during the police pursuit of the kidnappers.
The composite drawing is of an African American male in his 20s, with medium complexion and very short black hair. He is 5-feet-10 to 6 feet tall, weighs about 160 pounds and suffered injuries in the crash, said LAPD Det. Rick Swanston of the West Valley Division.
The second kidnapper is described as an African American male in his mid- to late-20s, 5-feet-10 to 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds.
Police are also searching for a 1994 to 1998 emerald green Ford Mustang with a tan convertible top that is probably being driven by one of the fugitives, as well as two Rolex watches stolen from Rawlings.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles City Council is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the kidnappers.
Anyone with information is asked to call the West Valley Homicide Unit at (818) 756-8546 during the day or (213) 485-2504 at night and on weekends.
