MONTEREY PARK - Authorities today offered a $20,000 reward for information that leads to the conviction of whoever killed an Army sergeant outside his brother's home in Lancaster.

Sheriff Lee Baca held a news conference to appeal to the public for help in solving the murder of 26-year-old Nathen Taylor, who served three tours of duty with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The idea of solving a homicide case is one where all possibilities have to be considered," Baca said. Taylor had just left a party at his brother's home in the 700 block of West Avenue H-7 and was shot while sitting in his car about 12:10 a.m. His brother, Patrick, heard the gunshots and ran out to find brother fatally shot.

Nathen Taylor, who had been in the Army for seven years, had been taking computer and engineering classes at Antelope Valley College.
