Relatives of Razia Shariff are among those asking for the public's help.
The 60-year-old woman was getting out of her car on Dec. 2 when someone - possibly in a 1990s Toyota Corolla - hit and killed her on Centinela, near Nebraka Avenue.
Another reward is being offered in the case of Brigette Burdine.
The 48-year-old video game casting director was the victim of an apparent hit-and-run crash on Dec. 29 in Playa del Rey.
Police are hoping the third reward will help them solve the case of Armando Velazquez.
Velazquez, a 42-year-old dad, was hit by a stray bullet on Oct. 18 while driving on Langdon Avenue, near Parthenia, in North Hills.
His wife says she's very hurt by what's happened and asked any witnesses to contact police.
Anyone with information about either of these cases is asked to call CRIMESTOPPERS at 800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477).
