The Los Angeles City Council today approved a $75,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who killed a homeless man by setting him on fire.

Police are still looking for the killer. They have only a vague description of him that they pieced together from witnesses.

"We urge anyone who knows what went on that night to come forward and help us find closure for this man's family and friends," Councilman Tom LaBonge said on his website.

John Robert McGraham was killed Oct. 9 when someone doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. He had been sitting on the sidewalk in front of a boarded-up dental office at Third and Berendo streets.

People from nearby stores and homes rushed over to extinguish the flames, but it was too late.
