$10,000 REWARD OFFERED FOR INFORMATION REGARDING MARCH 30 HOMICIDE

A $10,000 reward has been offered for information regarding the killing of Amanpreet Singh Mander, who was fatally shot March 30 outside the Wells Fargo Bank near Sunset Road and Eastern Avenue.

Mander worked at a nearby convenience store and was probably the target of a robbery, police said. Two men driving a white four-door Stratus are suspected of the crime. The car was found near the crime scene. The suspects also may have used a silver Ford F-150, police said.

The Mander family raised $5,000 for the reward, a figure matched by the United Coin Machine Company, which operates slot routes in 7-Eleven stores in Southern Nevada.

Residents must be willing to be identified to law enforcement and to those coordinating the reward. They must assist law enforcement in the identification, apprehension and conviction of those responsible for the killing.

To report information, call the police at 828-3521.
