COATESVILLE, Pa. (WPVI) -- A reward is being offered as a family pleads for answers to find the person who shot and killed a young father in Coatesveille, Chester County.

"He's a happy, go lucky person with a big heart. He had an infectious smile that will be greatly missed," said Sherry Davis.

Davis says she still can't believe that her son, Alex Davis, was killed.

"I just miss him so much," she said.

On July 2 2012, 29-year-old Alex was in his car at South 6th Avenue and Belmont Street in Coatesville.

"He was shot and killed in his car and it took place about 11:40 at night," said Michael Noone, Chester County 1st Assistant District Attorney.

"I don't know what's wrong with the world today, I feel the person should be held accountable," said Davis.

"Someone in that neighborhood saw something and now is the time for them to come forward," said Noone.

To further that, the Citizens Crime Commission is administering a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

All you have to do is call 215-546-TIPS (8477).

The victim's sister has a message for the person who took her brother's life.

"I actually want to say that I forgive you and just come forward. I don't want my family to keep hurting like this," said Jataja Davis.

Alex leaves behind a young daughter.

"She just said the other day that she missed her daddy. She said, 'I'm sad but my daddy's looking over me,'" said Davis.
