$20,000 reward offered in Hunting Park shooting that killed 70-year-old
Three months after Felix Serrano was fatally shot in Philadelphia, his family is publicly appealing for witnesses to come forward, 6abc.com reports.
Serrano, 70, was shot on 7 August just before 7 p.m. along the 4300 block of North 7th Street in the city's Hunting Park section. Police say he was struck while driving a grey BMW and subsequently crashed the vehicle while attempting to reach help.
His daughter, Joanna Serrano, described a relationship with her father that had only recently been rekindled. "I have recently built a relationship with my dad after so many years, for someone to just take it away and not give me a chance to fully spend time that was needed with my father," she said.
Joanna and her two brothers are still processing the loss. "The smile he gave just lit up the room," she said. "I just wish I had more time with him."
The family is now urging anyone with information to contact authorities. "I wish someone would come forward, give us some information so justice can be served," Joanna said. "If it were one of your family members, you would want an answer, a closure to everything. Just come forward, just let us know anything that you may know."
A reward of $20,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 215-546-TIPS.
