A $10,000 reward is up for grabs today in the death of a retired NASA employee killed by an arrow during an early morning walk on March 11.

Angel Martinez, a 62-year old man who had worked at Edwards Air Force Base, was found face-down at or near 13th Street East and Avenue K about 1:45 a.m., said Deputy Oscar Butao of the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau.

Martinez was recently released from hospice care at the Antelope Valley Medical Center and often went on walks at night because he had trouble sleeping, authorities said.

The reward was approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on a motion by Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who represents the county district that includes Lancaster.

Anyone with more information about the killing was asked to call Sgt. Timothy Miley at the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.
