Today (Jun. 25, 2024), the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion<\/a>\u00a0introduced by Supervisors Kathryn Barger and Hilda L. Solis that reestablishes a $20,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of those responsible for the murder of 27-year-old Sheriff\u2019s Deputy Juan Escalante in Cypress Park.<\/p>\n

Deputy Escalante, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq and a father of three, was shot and killed outside his parents\u2019 home at approximately 5:40 a.m. on August 2, 2008. Investigators have arrested six individuals in connection with the case but believe more suspects remain at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been almost 16 years since Deputy Escalante\u2019s life tragically ended yet his children, wife, family, and colleagues continue to feel the terrible pain of his loss,\u201d\u00a0Supervisor Kathryn Barger<\/strong>\u00a0stated. \u201cI remain hopeful this reward will lead investigators to everyone involved in this heinous murder so they are held accountable. Justice must be served.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReestablishing the reward for Deputy Juan Escalante is how the Board supports the family and friends of our fallen hero and continues to pursue justice to ensure anyone who was involved in his murder is apprehended. I am grateful to the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department for continuing to work to make sure those involved are held accountable,\u201d said\u00a0Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis<\/strong>, who represents the First District. \u201cI implore anyone with information to contact the Department.\u201d<\/p>\n
