East L.A. -- The county Board of Supervisors took action Tuesday allowing the payout of $80,000 in reward money to people who provided information that led to convictions in the killings of three people in East Los Angeles over a four-year period.

The reward was originally approved by the board in 2021 for information that led to convictions in the Feb. 11, 2014, killing of Jesse Avalos; the July 6, 2015, slaying of Eduardo Robles; and the April 22, 2018, killing of Amanda Nicole Lopez.

Shortly after a news conference was held in 2021 announcing the reward, an unspecified number of people "courageously came forward with critical information" that led to the arrests of a man and his father in connection with the killings, according to Supervisor Hilda Solis' office.
