Two years after Anaiah Walker, 16, was killed in a hit and run in Buckeye in Buckeye, her reward for tips was raised to $12,000.

Wednesday’s announcement by Buckeye police was that they have increased the reward for information leading towards Walker’s arrest. This was in collaboration with Silent Witness.

Walker’s body was found by police near Watson Road on May 22, 2020. Since December 2019, Walker was listed by the Mesa Police Department as a missing or runaway juvenile. It took 12 days for police to identify Walker’s body.

Walker was declared to have died from a high-velocity accident by the medical examiner. After extensive forensic examinations detectives determined that Walker was killed by a vehicle.

Police believe that the vehicle that hit Walker was a 2016- to 2018 Honda Civic LX/LE with factory color “midnight burgundy pearl” based on parts found on the road.

Anybody with information can call Silent Witness at 480 WITNESS (480-948-66377 for Spanish-speakers) to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash prize.
