CANYON COUNTRY – A county supervisor is seeking approval of a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever ran down a 15-year-old Canyon Country girl on the day after Christmas and then left the scene.

Desiree Renee Lawson was killed at about 8:40 p.m. Dec. 26 as she crossed the street in the 27500 block of Sierra Highway, south of Soledad Canyon Road.

The reward was proposed by Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose Fifth District includes Canyon Country.
