Los Angeles County Supervisors Approve 10000 Dollar Reward in Lake Los Angeles Killing of Elena Kazanes Age 40
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in California unanimously approved a 10000 dollar reward for information that could help solve the killing of a Lake Los Angeles woman.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, deputies responded on February 19, 2026, at approximately 11:21 a.m. to a dirt access road about one mile east of 140th Street East near East Avenue E in the unincorporated community of Lake Los Angeles, where they found the body of Elena Kazanes, age 40.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later determined that Kazanes died from gunshot wounds and that her death was a homicide.
The reward was introduced by Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger. Detectives with the Sheriff Department Homicide Bureau said there may be people who know what happened but have not yet contacted authorities.
The county listed the Homicide Bureau number as 323-890-5500 and Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS. No arrests were announced with the reward announcement, and the investigation remains ongoing.
