PICO-UNION, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A $50,000 reward is being offered to find a driver who hit and killed a 78-year-old man last week near downtown Los Angeles and then fled the scene.

Officials released new surveillance video of the vehicle and the crash which happened at Union Avenue and Third Street on Aug. 10 in the Pico-Union District.
