Officials To Increase Reward For Info. In Toddler's Death
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minneapolis Police Department and Crime Stoppers are teaming up to increase the reward for information regarding a 3-year-old's death.
Police say with no leads, they will increase efforts to find the gunman responsible for Terrell Mayes' death. Mayes was killed by a stray bullet while inside his home on the day after Christmas.
Crime Stoppers has already offered $1,000 for information in this case, but additionally private citizens have donated more than $5,000, which will be added to the total reward.
