ORANGE — A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction related to a hit-and-run that killed a pedestrian in May.

Authorities in Essex County are looking for a 2020-2021 Toyota Highlander that was allegedly involved in the incident that claimed the life of 46-year-old Felipe Chay.

The photo above is an example of the vehicle authorities are seeking.
