Supervisor­s could extend rewards

- VALLEY PRESS STAFF REPORT

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor­s, on Tuesday, will consider extending two $20,000 rewards in two unrelated Antelope Valley crimes — the 2015 disappeara­nce of a Littlerock woman and the 2016 killing of an R. Rex Parris High School student in Palmdale.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger will recommend extending a $20,000 county reward, set to expire Feb. 21, for informatio­n on the suspicious disappeara­nce of then28-year-old Monique Figueroa, who was last seen by

her father, driving away from her Littlerock home in the 7200 block of East Ave. U-12 around 4 a.m., May 19, 2015.

Her car, a 2004 burgundy Mercedes-Benz, was recovered 11 days later in an abandoned shed in Juniper Hills.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigat­ors believe Figueroa disappeare­d under suspicious circumstan­ces and there is a good likelihood foul play was involved.

She left her two-yearold daughter in the care of her family, who reported her missing several days after she left home.

Barger will also recommend extending a $20,000 county reward, which is set to expire Wednesday, in the killing of 17-year-old “Jay” Quinn.

He was found

Jaquarius unconsciou­s and suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper torso about 8:30 p.m., Nov. 6, 2016, in the 2300 block of Old Harold Road in Palmdale.

Quinn was transporte­d to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Sheriff’s investigat­ors said he shared an early Sunday dinner with family members, who last saw him about 5 p.m. on the day he was killed.

He was subsequent­ly found on the roadway by witnesses who stopped and called for aid.

The R. Rex Parris High School 11th-grader’s hobbies included playing flag football with his friends, drawing, cooking and dancing. He was hoping to become an actor.
