A reward of $20,000 is being offered to anyone with information leading to a man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend and her daughter in Compton last month.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is offering the reward in hopes that the public will help authorities find Donte Brown, 41, the “estranged boyfriend” of 45-year-old La’von Hall, who was fatally shot alongside her 22-year-old daughter Ma’Laysia Martin on April 1.
Hall and Martin were at a stoplight at Caldwell Street and South Central Avenue that evening when Brown allegedly drove up alongside the victims’ vehicle and opened fire before fleeing southbound on South Central Avenue.
Brown, who is described as being 5-foot-9 and weighing 245 pounds, frequents Long Beach and Compton. He has black hair and brown eyes, and he “should be considered ARMED and DANGEROUS,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
Anyone with information about Brown’s whereabouts is asked to call the LASD Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.
To report information anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
