Crime Stoppers of Greater Atlanta has increased the reward to help track down the vehicle and persons responsible for a fatal pedestrian accident on Interstate 285 in Sandy Springs.

The organization has bumped up the reward to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those involved in the death of Gayla Joyce Walker, Sandy Springs police said.

Walker, a 53-year-old resident of Dunwoody, was struck and killed Jan. 22 as she walked along I-285 near Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.

Investigators with Sandy Springs police have “exhausted all leads in the case,” the agency said in a press release. The only description given to the agency of the vehicle involved is a large white truck.

That tip, Sandy Springs police spokesperson Sgt. Ron Momon said, “hasn’t been much help thus far.”
