Reward offered in hit-and-run death of Long Beach man, daughter

A $10,000 reward is being offered in connection to a Long Beach crash that killed a man and his 3-year-old daughter.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- A $10,000 reward was announced Tuesday in connection to a Long Beach crash that killed a man and his 3-year-old daughter.

Long Beach police say Octavio Montano, 24, was driving a 2014 Ram 1500 pickup truck last month when he lost control and crashed into an apartment building, killing the 42-year-old dad and little girl sleeping inside.

Montano allegedly ran away from the scene after the collision.

A 3-year-old Long Beach girl and her father were killed when the hit-and-run driver, identified as 24-year-old Octavio Montano, slammed into their apartment, according to police.

A warrant is out for Montano's arrest.

The $10,000 reward was approved Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on a motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn.
