Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Koretz, 5th District, introduced a motion in city council last week offering a $50,000 reward in response to the slaying of Christopher John Paul on April 22 in Palms.

Koretz was joined by Los Angeles Police Department deputy chief Beatrice Girmala to discuss the motion at the meeting.

On April 22, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Paul, a 33-year-old resident of the Palms area, was walking home to his apartment complex located on the 3300 block of Mentone Avenue. As he approached the rear gate to his apartment, an unknown assailant shot him from behind, causing his death.
