In a unanimous decision, the LaGrange City Council has chosen to increase the bounty for clues that might solve a long-standing homicide case. The city is upping the ante in hopes of obtaining information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect involved in the murder of 19-year-old Javeon Dukes and the wounding of six others. The incident, which happened on Seminary Street back in June, plunged the community into mourning and bewilderment and to this day, as reported by the City of LaGrange.
The LaGrange Police Department is asking the community for any information that could help, believing someone may know something important about the tragedy. According to the City of LaGrange official government website, the council approved an additional $10,000 reward sum, raising the total to $12,000 with the inclusion of the existing $2,000 from Crime Stoppers.
People can also share information anonymously through the LPD’s Tip411 system. Community help could be very important to the investigation, as per the City of LaGrange.
