The Hall County Sheriff’s Office announced a $10,000 reward Friday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever killed a prominent Gainesville businessman earlier this month.
David Sanchez was shot during a robbery April 12 near Victory Foods, a food processing plant on Industrial Drive in Gainesville. The 47-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The reward fund has been established by his family, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Sheriff’s tip line, accessible in Spanish or English, at 770-503-3232. Tips will remain confidential, and callers can remain anonymous, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Sanchez owned a party and events store on Atlanta Highway in Gainesville, Channel 2 Action News reported at the time of the shooting. Investigators told Channel 2 they believe the man may have been targeted because he also did on-site check-cashing for poultry plant workers.
Detectives said two men approached Sanchez outside the food plant, opened fire on him and stole cash and his car. The vehicle was later recovered. A woman who was with Sanchez was not hurt.
