MEDIA, Pa., (CBS) -- The Delaware County FOP is offering a $15,000 reward for information that could lead to an arrest after an officer's daughter was struck and killed while walking in Southwest Philadelphia Saturday.

Police responded to the scene early Saturday morning after a 27-year-old woman was fatally struck Honda Accord that was traveling southbound on 84th Street.
Police said the vehicle hit a pedestrian, who was crossing westbound on Lindbergh Boulevard. She has since been identified as Ashley McLean, of Glenolden, Pennsylvania.
The driver then fled the scene, according to police.
The 27-year-old woman was pronounced dead on the scene by medical units just before 2:40 a.m.
Police recovered and towed the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run, however, the driver is still unknown at this time.
