Newsom’s office announced the rewards in a news release on Wednesday.
In Fresno, Kyrin Wright, 19 was fatally shot outside of his apartment complex in May of last year.
Investigators say Wright was shot several times by a man in black clothing. Officers found Wright dead on the playground at the Parc Grove Commons near Clinton Avenue and Fresno Street.

Anyone with information on the 1990 killing of Martinez is asked to contact Bakersfield police at (661) 327-7111. Kern Secret Witness is offering an additional $10,000 reward.
Rewards in Other California Cases
