CrimePAY$    $50,000 Reward     TipLine  1-888-755-TIPS (8477)

The Los Angeles City Council is expected to approve a $50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the murder of a 66-year-old man whose severed head was found earlier this year in the Hollywood Hills.

The investigation was launched after two dog walkers discovered the severed head of an alleged homicide victim at Bronson Canyon Park January 17, 2012.. The hikers had nine dogs on the trail when two of the dogs started playing with an object in a plastic bag. When the hikers realized it was a human head, they immediately notified park rangers.

The next day, trained cadaver dogs found two hands and two feet near a shallow grave. Coroners identified the remains as those of Hervey Medellin Coronado, a former Mexicana Airlines employee.

Medellin Coronado had been reported missing a few days earlier at the Hollywood Police Station. He lived with a roommate in a third-floor apartment on DeLongpre Avenue in Hollywood and hiked regularly in the area where he was found.

Police in January served a search warrant at his building and towed a silver Honda from the complex, but no arrests were made.
