A reward has been posted for information leading to the arrest of the hit-and-run driver who struck and killed a pedestrian in Cherokee County earlier this year.

Larry Ward, 31, died after being struck around 12:25 a.m. on July 7 on Kellogg Creek Road.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, evidence at the scene led investigators to believe that Ward was struck by a 1992 to 1996 Ford F150 XL pickup truck, but the color is unknown.

The GSP is also asking that repair shops that may have repaired front-end damage to a vehicle matching that description contact authorities.

Anyone with information on the vehicle or its driver is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. A reward of up to $4,000 is being offered in the case.
