St. Paul police released a photo Thursday of what a car that hit and killed a 53-year-old woman earlier this month might have looked like as authorities still try to find suspects in the hit-and-run case.

Meanwhile, a private citizen has offered $5,000 for any information leading to an arrest.

Therese Klotz, of St. Paul, was struck by a vehicle about 6:40 p.m. Nov. 1 as she was getting out of her car in front of a friend's house on the 700 block of Randolph Avenue. She died at Regions Hospital. The suspect and vehicle have yet to be found.

Klotz's friend, who was also outside at the time of the accident, said the vehicle continued up the street and turned left onto 7th Street, heading toward downtown.

Investigators found a silver right mirror cover at the scene. Police say that the cover came from a 2001 to 2006 Lexus LS 430 sedan.

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the department's traffic unit at 651-266-5722.
