Officials Approve $10K Reward In Teen Slaying

LONG BEACH, Calif. (CBS) ― The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has approved a $10,000 reward Tuesday for information in the fatal shooting of a Long Beach-area honors student.

Melody Ross was shot and killed outside at Woodrow Wilson high in Long Beach Friday night after a homecoming game.

Witnesses said some teens got into a fight and gunfire erupted. Two others were shot along with Ross, but are expected to survive.

Ross died at a nearby hospital.

Police said Ross was an innocent bystander and not involved in the incident.

Ross' family describes her as an angel, struck down before she could realize her promising future.

"It is important for the County of Los Angeles to display an unwavering stance against random acts of violence," county Supervisor Don Knabe, who requested the reward, said.
