Gov. Offers Reward For Info Regarding Shooting

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today issued a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction in a California court of the person or persons responsible for the shooting of 22-year-old Fairfield City Councilman Matt Garcia, who was shot in the back of the head on September 1, 2008, while getting out of his car in Cordelia.

Under the Governor's Reward program, 232 rewards have been offered since 1967 and 19 have been paid. The reward process is initiated when the Governor receives a request from the chief of the law enforcement agency with investigatory jurisdiction over the matter. The Governor's legal affairs unit processes the request and determines statutory compliance. The Governor makes the final determination regarding the request.

Rewards may be offered for specified crimes under the California Penal Code and subject to statutory maximums. Rewards do not expire and are only paid if the information leads to the arrest and conviction in a California court of the individual or individuals charged with the crime.
