$75,000 reward offered in South Park double slaying

Authorities last week offered a $75,000 reward for information in the double slaying of a couple in South Park. The reward is sponsored by City Councilwoman Jan Perry, who represents the area.

Sulema Wilborn, a 51-year-old Latina, was driving with her husband, Jerriell Wilborn, a 49-year-old black man, along Slauson Avenue in August when police said an attacker fired a gun for no apparent reason and fatally wounded the couple.

As she was shot, Sulema Wilborn accelerated and smashed her vehicle into a pole, police said. The couple was pronounced dead at the scene.
