A reward is being offered for leads in a tragic hit-and-run incident that claimed a life in South Chicago last month.
Raven Myers, 32, was fatally struck while walking to a neighborhood store near the 2100 block of East 83rd Street at approximately 10 p.m. on March 10. The vehicle involved, a red 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, was traveling westbound when the collision occurred, according to Cook County Crime Stoppers.

In an effort to apprehend the driver responsible, Cook County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest. The organization assures that all tips will remain anonymous.
“This heartbreaking event highlights the severe consequences of reckless driving. A life has been lost, and the situation has escalated from an accident to a serious felony due to the driver’s choice to flee,” stated Paul Rutherford, Executive Director of Cook County Crime Stoppers. “We implore anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward. Your tip could be vital in securing justice for the victim and her family.”
The grieving mother of Myers is seeking justice for her daughter.
Myers’ mother wants justice.
Carrie Edgeworth said she can’t understand how anyone would leave her daughter lying in the street.
“When she came down, her light went out. And she didn’t suffer on the street, but she was still by herself. That’s the part that just kills me,” Edgeworth said. “You knocked her out of her shoe, yeah.”
Edgeworth said the red car was not the only one that didn’t stop.
“When they took her to the University of Chicago, and that’s when I found out that her neck was deformed. She was ran over by several cars,” she said.
Edgeworth got the call the next morning. She now sits with the grief of losing her only daughter: a sweet, gentle soul who deserved better.
“To watch her be buried at 32 years old. Well, because someone was so heartless to hit her and leave her,” Edgeworth said.
“This is just one corner. This will be one set of speed bumps, one set of cameras, one set of aggressive patrolling. But this is happening all over the city,” father Donald Myers said.
Myers’ parents are now calling on local leaders to add cameras and plate readers to the area, so no parent experiences what they have.
“You went home, and she lost her life,” Edgeworth said.
Myers was described as being inseparable from her twin brother, a guide to her nephews and a giving heart to the community.
“No parent, no parent should go through this,” Edgeworth said.
