$10,000 reward offered in search for masked Rogers Park murderer

A $10,000 reward was offered Thursday for information leading to the capture of the person who police say shot and killed two men in a pair of apparently random attacks that happened within 36 hours along a half-mile stretch of Rogers Park - and that have left the neighborhood on edge.

The Jewish United Fund (JUF) and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago announced the reward along with Cook County Crime Stoppers a day after police released surveillance video of the masked suspect and the manhunt entered its third day.

Police also clarified Thursday that they are unsure of the suspect's race - saying now they believe he has a "dark complexion."

Eliyahu Moscowitz, the 24-year-old Orthodox Jewish man who was shot in the head at point-blank range on a lakefront path near Lunt Avenue late Monday, lived in the city's main Jewish enclave near the JCC, where more than 200 residents packed in for an update from police on the case Thursday night.

His slaying occurred a day and a half after 73-year-old Douglass Watts was killed with the same gun while walking his dogs Sunday morning near his home in the 1400 block of West Sherwin, police say.
