The driver left the scene after the crash.

The car is registered in West Philadelphia.

Anyone with information is asked to please or call Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS or the Accident Investigation Division at 215-685-3180.

Earlier Saturday, Xavier's family begged any witnesses to come forward.

"I could be anybody, you could be me sitting here," said Logan White, Xavier's father. "It's always somebody else 'til it happens to you."

The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police has offered a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest in the case.

Xavier was hit along the 5000 block of Irving Street around 4 p.m., family members and police said.
