The striking vehicle, a heavily-damaged 2006 Chevy Impala, was left behind at the scene.

Police say the driver of the car got out of the vehicle after the crash and fled on foot. An image of that suspect was released by police.

A cash reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the driver who killed Jainlett.
