Reward Offered in Slaying of Los Altos Gardener

A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that leads
to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for killing Roberto
Riviera in Los Altos on Monday, police said Thursday.

The reward is being offered by Mothers Against Murder, a Los
Altos-based nonprofit, in partnership with the Los Altos Police Department.

Riviera was shot sometime before 10:55 a.m. when police were
called about a shooting at a home in the 1000 block of Highlands Circle.

Riviera was shot in the backyard of the home and he was
pronounced dead at 11:15 a.m., police said.

The suspect may have left the area on a motorcycle,
according to police.

Margaret Petros, executive director of Mothers Against
Murder said Thursday night after the reward was offered, “We really hope
the criminal/criminals are arrested quickly.”

Police, she said, reached out to her group to put up a
reward.

Petros said Riviera was a gardener working at the home where
he was shot. She said the neighborhood is very safe and it’s shocking that something
like this happened.
