Good morning and welcome to the TimesOC newsletter.
It’s Friday, May 28. I’m Ben Brazil, bringing you the latest roundup of Orange County news and events.
The county has spent the last week collectively reeling from the killing of a 6-year-old boy.
Aiden Leos was shot to death last Friday on the 55 Freeway in Orange while being driven to kindergarten by his mother in what has been described as a road rage incident.
With Leos’ killer still on the loose, the county has mobilized to offer a reward of $310,000 to anyone who offers information that leads to the arrest of the shooter. Orange County Supervisors Don Wagner and Katrina Foley have donated $50,000 each from their offices’ budgets to the effort. Reporter Faith Pinho wrote that an anonymous donor has provided another $50,000, and several Orange County businesses have also donated.
