Investigators are still searching for the driver responsible for a deadly hit-and-run crash near 36th Street and Cambridge Avenue in May 2023 that killed 34-year-old motorcyclist Leif Chapin.

PHOENIX - Investigators are still searching for answers in a deadly hit-and-run. The crash, which happened two years ago in May, was caught on camera.

What we know:

The incident occurred near 36th Street and Cambridge Avenue. 

Video shows the moments before a vehicle hit and killed a 34-year-old motorcyclist, Leif Chapin. 

The driver failed to yield before making a left turn and slammed into Chapin. Police later found the 2007 red Nissan Altima abandoned, but the driver has never been identified.

What they're saying:

"The unfortunate part about some of this is that we do have a vehicle, and people lend their vehicle out, people borrow a vehicle, they rent a vehicle—there are so many factors that fall into this," said Phoenix Police Sergeant Andy Williams. "But what we really need is someone who can say, ‘I saw this individual that day,’ or maybe there’s another camera that recorded it. Someone who can say, ‘I saw this person behind the wheel,’ or ‘I saw who was driving that vehicle at the time.’"

What you can do:

There is a $2,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
