We want some justice, and we want it really badly.
Laura Sue Carden was so excited for the holidays she put her Christmas tree up just a few days after Halloween.
But the 70-year-old grandmother didn’t get to see Christmas this year – she was hit by a car while walking in North Chattanooga on Dec. 12 and died from her injuries on Monday.
The driver of the car fled the scene, and now Carden’s family is offering a $2,500 reward for any information that leads to the arrest or conviction of the driver.
Witnesses described the driver as a black man in a blue or silver sedan. Carden was struck around 3:30 a.m. – she was an early riser who liked to get a walk in before her morning shift at the Sports Barn – and the driver likely had damage to the front of his vehicle, according to police.
