This reward was actually offered and publicized in December, but police obviously still need help to solve this crime.

Police on Tuesday will hold a news conference to discuss a $50,000 reward offer in the Oct. 14 killing of Armando Mariscal Jr. of San Pedro.

Mariscal, 33, was shot while stopped at a red light on Lincoln Boulevard at Maxella Avenue after he and friends left a Venice bar where they had watched an Oakland Raiders football game. Someone in a white utility van pulled alongside them and fired several gunshots, killing Mariscal.

One bullet grazed his girlfriend, who was five months pregnant with his daughter.

LAPD detectives said previously that it did not appear the killing was the result of any disputes during the game.

Detectives will hold a news conference in front of the Pacific Division station. Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, LAPD Deputy Chief Terry Hara and Captain Joseph Hiltner will make the announcement.

Mariscal’s family members will be in attendance. Mariscal spent most of his life in Harbor Gateway before moving to San Pedro.
