CHICAGO (WLS) -- A reward is being offered for information in a fatal hit-and-run crash in South Chicago last month.

Raven Myers, 32, was walking to a nearby store in the 2100-block of East 83rd Street around 10 p.m. March 10, when a red 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander traveling west on 83rd Street hit and killed her, Cook County Crime Stoppers said.

"This tragic incident underscores the devastating consequences of reckless and irresponsible behavior behind the wheel. A life has been lost, and what may have initially been an accident has now become a serious felony due to the driver's decision to flee the scene. We urge anyone with information, no matter how small it may seem, to do the right thing and come forward. Your tip could help bring justice to the victim and her family," Cook County Crime Stoppers Executive Director Paul Rutherford said.

Myers' mother wants justice.

Carrie Edgeworth said she can't understand how anyone would leave her daughter lying in the street.

"When she came down, her light went out. And she didn't suffer on the street, but she was still by herself. That's the part that just kills me," Edgeworth said. "You knocked her out of her shoe, yeah."

Edgeworth said the red car was not the only one that didn't stop.

"When they took her to the University of Chicago, and that's when I found out that her neck was deformed. She was ran over by several cars," she said.

Edgeworth got the call the next morning. She now sits with the grief of losing her only daughter: a sweet, gentle soul who deserved better.

"To watch her be buried at 32 years old. Well, because someone was so heartless to hit her and leave her," Edgeworth said.

"This is just one corner. This will be one set of speed bumps, one set of cameras, one set of aggressive patrolling. But this is happening all over the city," father Donald Myers said.

Myers' parents are now calling on local leaders to add cameras and plate readers to the area, so no parent experiences what they have.

"You went home, and she lost her life," Edgeworth said.

Myers was described as being inseparable from her twin brother, a guide to her nephews and a giving heart to the community.

"No parent, no parent should go through this," Edgeworth said.
