*UPDATE* Homicide Detectives Seek the Public’s Assistance in Identifying
A Person of Interest in the Execution-style Murder of Jeffrey Tidus
 
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the execution-style murder of 53-year-old Jeffrey Tidus, a prominent civil litigation attorney.
 
Detectives have released a composite sketch of a person of interest and are seeking the public’s assistance in obtaining any information which will lead to the identification of the individual who is described as an African American male in his 30’s.
 
It was about 8:30 p.m. on the evening of Monday, December 7, 2009, 53-year-old Jeffrey Tidus, was murdered after arriving at his Rolling Hills Estates residence after attending a fundraiser in Redondo Beach. Jeffrey often brought work home with him. When he stepped out of his home to retrieve his work laptop computer from his vehicle, which was parked in his driveway, unknown assailant(s) came up from behind Jeffrey and shot him once in the head. He was transported to UCLA Harbor Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries the next day
 
Jeffrey Tidus is survived by his wife of 25 years, Sheryl and his daughter, Ilana Tidus. He was a partner with the law firm of Baute & Tidus. He served previously on the State Bar Board of Governors as the California Young Lawyers Association representative and at the time of his death he was a member of the Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct. He obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of California at San Diego, and his law degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He was an avid runner, and was training for the Los Angeles Marathon at the time of his death.
 
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has approved a reward of $10,000 and an additional $90,000 has been added by the victim’s family, making a combined offer of $100,000 in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the execution-style murder of Jeffrey Tidus; with the hope of encouraging witnesses to step forward and share any tips they may have.
