PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Silent Witness is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the hit-and-run death of a 55-year-old man in Phoenix late last month.

At about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 29, Benson Franklin was crossing Baseline Road when he was hit by a car headed west near 51st Avenue. Phoenix police responded to the call and found him lying in the road. Franklin was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died.
