Broward County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $3,000 for information leading to an arrest, but an additional reward of up to $7,000 is now being offered by anonymous donors.

Rivera's mother moved away from South Florida after his death to escape the pain of losing her child while knowing that the killer is still at large.

A surveillance camera caught a glimpse of the killer running away from the scene with a white shirt covering his head.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
