Little Rock police have announced a $20,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction for whoever fatally shot a 2-year-old girl earlier this week.

Police announced Friday that an anonymous donor gave $10,000 for the reward, and the city of Little Rock matched that donation.

Authorities say the girl was riding in a vehicle Tuesday night when she was struck by gunfire. The girl was taken to a Little Rock hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Police say a motive for the shooting is not yet known.
