$22,000 Reward Offered For Leads on Murderer

The authorities are now offering $22,000 for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator who robbed and fatally shot a Metropolitan Transportation Authority security guard in Brooklyn last month, officials said. James Plocica, 37, was waiting for a bus in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn on March 11 when he was shot twice and robbed of cash and an XM radio. Police yesterday released video footage of a man seen following Plocica in and out of a 7-Eleven just five minutes before he was killed. The man, who was described as a black man in his late teens or early 20s, is believed to be the last person who saw Plocica alive. Plocica worked as a security guard in the East New York section of Brooklyn.
