HUPY AND ABRAHAM, S.C., OFFERS $2,500 REWARD IN RISING R&B SINGER'S MURDER CASE

The personal injury law firm of Hupy and Abraham, S.C., is offering a $2,500 reward to the first person who provides information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting deaths of rising R&B star Yolanda “La La” Brown and her producer, JeTannue Clayborn also known as “Koo-Laid”.

Brown, 21 and Clayborn, 22 were found October 19, 2007, shot to death inside Loud Enuff Productions, a recording studio where they lived in the 5500 block of West Lisbon Avenue.

“We are so disgusted that no one has come forward. So we decided to try to help the process along. It seemed like such a senseless act that we just felt compelled to do something,” said Attorney Jason Abraham, a partner at Hupy and Abraham, S.C.

Investigators continue to seek information for possible suspects involved in the homicides. Anyone with information should contact the Milwaukee Police Department at (414) 935-7360.

This isn’t the first time that Hupy and Abraham, S.C., has stepped forward to offer a reward to assist police in solving a murder or malicious crime. Most recently, the firm offered and paid a $5,000 reward for information, which led to an arrest and conviction in the murder case of 21-year old Kevin Bohannon. Bohannon was murdered in Mitchell Park in July, 2006, as he walked home from work. Months had passed and the case had gone cold. However, less than two days after the reward was announced police received a tip, which led to the arrest of 29-year old Corey Young who later pled guilty to the murder.

In 2004, the firm offered a $5,000 reward, which led to the apprehension of a prankster who caused a serious motorcycle accident in Waukesha County. The prankster stretched tightly wound plastic wrap across the road from traffic pole to traffic pole causing Daniel Buckel and his girlfriend, Theresa Brzycky, to be thrown from a motorcycle into a skid across the asphalt. Injuries from the accident sent the couple to Waukesha Memorial Hospital. The prankster was arrested shortly after the reward was announced.
