The reward was originally offered as a $10,000 amount, but Knabe decided to increase the amount because authorities have announced no leads since the shooting occurred on Friday night.

“Someone needs to come forward and do the right thing and know they do not even have to identify themselves,” said Supervisor Knabe. “This is so tragic.”

Police have released no suspect descriptions and have said there are few leads, despite the shooting occurring in front of a large crowd on a busy street following a sold-out football game between Wilson and Poly High. The Press-Telegram reported today that a fight broke out before the shooting began, but that contradicts what some Wilson students who were present during the shooting have said. One witness yesterday said that the shooter simply walked up and started firing at the ground. Melody Ross was sitting on the Ximeno Avenue curb with friends when she was struck in the torso. Two males that were also injured will recover.

Police have indicated that information is hard to come by in this situation because the crowd scattered when the shooting began. Of course, there were so many people around that it’s feasible to say that witnesses are concerned about coming forward. Either way, the search for the person who fired into a crowd outside a high school continues.

The death of Melody Ross has been a painful shock to the city, as it struggles to come to grips with the tragedy and the fact that little is known about the shooter. The outrage and thirst for justice has been heard loud and clear.
