An anonymous tip led Philadelphia Police to the man they ran down a woman along a Northeast Philadelphia road before Christmas nearly two years ago.
Christopher Cook, 43, was arrested Wednesday and charged in the death of 33-year-old Theresa Pozzi.
Pozzi was crossing State Road on Dec. 23, 2014 when she was hit by a dark colored, older model Ford pickup truck, police said. The driver kept going as the woman's life drained away from her body in the street.
Witnesses stayed with Pozzi as they waited for paramedics to arrive. She later died at a nearby trauma center.
Since the hit and run, a $10,000 reward was issued and police showed off a broken headlight recovered from the scene with the hope of finding the driver.
They didn't have any luck until recently when an anonymous tip came in. Police said the information provided led them to Cook.
Cook is charged with accident involving death, homicide by vehicle and involuntary manslaughter.
