EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a proposal by Supervisor Janice Hahn to extend a $20,000 reward related to the unsolved murder of Marc Sweet at a Pico Rivera gas station.
Sweet was a longtime coach with Encino’s 365 Youth Baseball organization. He was shot and killed on Aug. 21, 2025, after a verbal altercation with a man near a Pico Rivera gas station, according to a Tuesday news release from Hahn’s office.
“Marc was a beloved son and mentor to young athletes,” Hahn said in a statement. “Someone robbed him of his life and robbed his community of his good work. If you have any information about his murder, I urge you to come forward and help bring some closure and clarity to his loved ones.”
Several witnesses spoke with detectives and provided their accounts of what happened. The suspect has not been identified, but the LA County Sheriff’s Department believes him to be:
- a Hispanic man around 30-35 years old
- standing around 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall
- weighing about 200 pounds
According to security footage, he was wearing a light gray shirt, black shorts, black and white Nike sneakers and was carrying a small crossbody bag.
Hahn is extending the $20,000 reward originally established in February 2026 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect, per Tuesday’s news release.
Anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact LASD Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be provided to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at lacrimestoppers.org.
