County supervisors offered a $50,000 reward Tuesday for information leading to the person who fatally stabbed a 26-year-old secretary in Walnut Park last week.
Erma Castro was working alone at 100% Realty Inc. on Friday morning when someone killed her. A customer found her body about 11:30 a.m., said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Joe Hartshorne.
A camera was mounted outside the front door of the office at 7712 Seville Ave., but it wasn’t working.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at (323) 890-5500.
