ORANGE, Calif. (KABC) -- The reward in the hunt for whoever killed 6-year-old Aiden Leos in a road-rage shooting in Orange County has grown to half a million dollars.

Aiden tragically died after someone opened fire on the 55 freeway on May 21 as the boy's mom was taking him to school.

Investigators are calling it road rage.

CHP said the suspect vehicle continued driving northbound on the 55 Freeway to the eastbound 91 Freeway toward Riverside. The suspects were described as a female driver and a male passenger who pulled the trigger.
