A $5,000 reward has been posted for information about a man State Police say shot and injured a woman on Route 78 on March 31.

Cory Vernon, 39, of Easton, Pennsylvania was found conscious just before 6 a.m., inside her car on the off ramp at exit 6 in Greenwich on the eastbound side, with gunshot wounds to the head, hand and chest, according to State Police.

Vernon's employer, QuVa Pharma, posted a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman. QuVa has a facility in Bloomsbury; Vernon's Facebook page said she is a security officer.

QuVa on Monday afternoon did not respond to New Jersey 101.5's request for more information.
