The hunt continues. Los Angeles has offered a reward of one million for the ex-cop who shot and killed. The mayor of Los Angeles announced a reward of US$1 million on the 10th for the arrest of Christopher Dorner, the former police officer suspected of shooting a Chinese woman and three others in Irvine...
. The Los Angeles police began a large-scale manhunt for Downard on the 7th, and it has now entered its fourth day.
Mayor Villaraigosa announced the reward at a press conference held by the Los Angeles Police Department for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
Downer's bivouac supplies, weapons and burned truck have been recovered. Los Angeles police officer Lopez said that the Nissan light truck found burned on the 7th made it difficult for investigators to determine what was inside the truck.
At the same time, the police are also investigating Downer's phone call to the victim's family. Anonymous sources said they were investigating whether the call to the victim's family came from the 33-year-old suspect or was someone impersonating him.
Retired Los Angeles police officer Downer was suspected of shooting Chinese-American woman Guan Baozhu and her fiancé Lance on the 3rd and then absconding. His whereabouts are unknown. After the Los Angeles police issued an urgent arrest late at night on the 6th, he killed again on the 7th, shooting three police officers, killing one and seriously injuring two others. All over Southern California, people were in panic on the 7th. On the evening of the 7th, police surrounded the Big Bear Mountain area outside Los Angeles in an all-out search for the murderer.
> Some schools, ski resorts and some military ports in San Diego were closed in Riverside County, California on the 7th due to news of Downer's disappearance. The police were faced with a major enemy.
The suspect Downard was a naval reserve and police officer, and received professional training at the police academy. He was discharged from the Navy on the 1st. Police believe he was armed with multiple guns, bullets and other heavy and dangerous weapons. In his confession published online, he stated that he would "declare a full-scale war on the police force" and would kill all the police officers and related personnel on his revenge list.
The police have dispatched security officers to closely protect the police officers and their relatives on the list from vicious hands.
In the early morning of the 7th, Southern California began to announce the suspect's escape on all highway signs, reminding the public that the 6-foot-tall, 270-pound former police officer drove a 2005 Nissan Titan gray pickup truck. The police also announced that the suspect may have used two California license plates with numbers 7X03191 and 8D83987.
Despite this, reports of Downer's whereabouts have been reported from Los Angeles, Point Loma, Corona, Riverside, San Diego and other places in Southern California. Highways 10 and 60, which run through Southern California, were temporarily blocked.
