CHELSEA (CBS) - A $2,000 reward being offered in a fatal hit-and-run accident last month in Chelsea.

"It's very frustrating for the whole family. We don't know if it's a female or male. We don't know the type of car that person was driving. All we know is what the detective has said," said Marquez. "It's a compact car, probably a four-door."

Marquez added that his brother's loss has been especially difficult for Sanchez's 9-year-old daughter, Saida.

The reward is for information leading to the arrest of the driver.
