Police Double Reward For Information on Murders of Brentwood Teens

The two girls were found dead last week.

The Suffolk County Police recently announced that they have increased the reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or people responsible for the murders of two Brentwood teens after receiving a donation.

An anonymous donor recently donated $5,000 to Suffolk County Crime Stoppers bringing the reward total to $10,000.

The money is guaranteed to be paid within 48 hours for the first tip that leads to an arrest to the person or persons responsible for the deaths of 15-year-old Nisa Mickens and 16-year-old Kayla Cuevas.
