County supervisors extend $10K reward in Monrovia murder case

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors last week extended a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the murder of a 46-year-old man in Monrovia.

Terry Alford was visiting family members and was shot multiple times on the front porch of their home around 5 p.m. Jan. 29, 2021, according to authorities. Video revealed four male suspects snuck behind Alford and opened fire.

LA County Sheriff’s Department detectives believe the shooting was intentional and gang-related, but that Alford was not the intended target.

Supervisors unanimously approved the motion to extend the reward that was introduced by 5th District Supervisor Kathryn Barger.

“Terry’s life was violently and senselessly ended, leaving his wife, children, and loved ones grieving for the rest of their lives,” Barger said in a statement. “His murder took place over three years ago but law enforcement agencies remain dedicated to finding those responsible for Terry’s murder. I’m hopeful this $10,000 reward encourages someone to step forward. Terry’s family and the community at large deserve justice and closure.”

Anyone with information about the fatal shooting can submit tips via the Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-222-8477 or at lacrimestoppers.org. Tipsters can also contact LASD Detective Cynthia Sanchez 323-890-5617.
