LOS ANGELES—One day after a reward fund swelled in hopes of generating tips leading to the killer of Tioni Theus, funeral services were held Jan. 27 for the 16-year-old girl who was shot and left alongside a South Los Angeles freeway.

Tioni’s body was discovered Jan. 8 on the side of the Harbor (110) Freeway on the Manchester Avenue on-ramp near South Figueroa Street. Tioni was last seen Jan. 7 after telling a family member she was going to meet a friend to go to a party, officials said.
