Hahn Requests Extension for $10,000 Reward in Murder of Eric Gregory Brown III

12-year-old was killed last year in Long Beach drive-by shooting

Los Angeles, CA – Today, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn to extend the County’s $10,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of 12-year-old Eric Gregory Brown III. Brown was fatally shot while walking with friends along Lewis Avenue in Long Beach on the night of May 9, 2023.

“Eric was just a kid enjoying some time with friends when he was brutally and senselessly killed on the street. Those responsible belong behind bars and we’re going to continue pursuing this case until that happens,” said Hahn. “If you know something, I’m asking for your help in delivering justice for Eric’s family.”

The reward was first approved by the Board in June and extended in August. Anyone with information is urged to contact Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau Detective John Carlin at (323) 890-5500.
