Suffolk police are offering a cash reward for information that leads to the arrest of the hit-and-run driver who killed a Holbrook man in late November — one of three pedestrians who died on Long Island roads in a 24-hour span.

Alan Lepre, 59, was walking from work to his home on Nov. 19 when a white Jeep Cherokee crashed into him on Veterans Memorial Highway at Grundy Avenue in Holbrook at about 10:30 p.m., the police said.

Lepre was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The right front quarter panel of the Jeep, a 2016 or newer model, was likely damaged, police said.
