LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A $50,000 reward was announced Monday for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction in the murder of a 15-year-old girl who was shot outside a hamburger stand in South Los Angeles.
Hannah Bell was fatally shot at about 9 p.m. Friday at Best Burger, a hamburger stand near 77th Street and Western Avenue. She died later at a hospital, according to police.
The reward was announced at a news conference Monday morning, where the girl's mother called for the killer to come forward.
"It will be easier on you if you just give in and take your punishment like you deserve," Samantha Mays said, before her face crumpled and she turned away from the microphone.o
Police have said they are also looking for a man who was standing with Hannah and her mother in front of the burger stand at the time of the shooting.
A male suspect wearing a black hoodie was last seen leaving the area on foot southbound on Western Avenue, LAPD Officer Mike Lopez said. Police say they did not have a motive for the killing.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call (877) LAPD-247 (527-3247).
