According to a news release issued Monday by Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, the reward is “being offered for information leading to the capture and conviction of [the] person [or persons] responsible.”
The shooting occurred during the early morning of May 20 at a residence located in the 13000 block of 166th Road, around 1:45 that Sunday morning.
