OXNARD, Calif. (KABC) --
Police released a detailed description of a vehicle possibly involved in the hit-and-run crash that killed a 17-year-old Oxnard boy with special needs.
Mark Gonzales was crossing the street at Petit Drive and Dollie Street Aug. 30 around 10 a.m. when he was struck by a car.
Oxnard police said they are looking for a 2003 to 2008, four-door Nissan Altima with tinted windows. Investigators said the car is equipped with a specialty sports package which includes side panel molding, a sun roof, mudguards, a trunk lid spoiler and black wheels.
The car may have damage to its right front passenger side and windshield, police said.
Gonzales' parents are devastated at the loss of their only son.
The teen loved school and was set to start his senior year in September. His mother said he was on the honor roll and always earned A grades.
Ventura County Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect or suspects in this case.

Thoughts? It's pretty low to leave the scene of an accident after hitting anybody already, but when a man or woman is so callous as to flee after hitting a teenager is just the lowest of all. Hopefully somebody reading this recognizes the vehicle and who it may belong to. Even better, if the person who hit Gonzales would do the right thing and turn themselves in.
