Authorities are now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who fatally shot a central Arkansas mother in front of her four children.

The Pulaski County sheriff's office said on Thursday that tips in the Jan. 19 killing of April Harris can be called in at (501) 340-6963 or (501) 340-8477. The reward was increased this week.

Harris was killed before 6:30 a.m. as she walked with her kids to her car at the Fairfax Crossing apartment complex at 5900 McCain Park Place, which is just outside North Little Rock city limits.

Harris was holding her 5-year-old daughter Autumn and both were shot. Harris died from her injuries later that morning at a hospital. Autumn was taken to Arkansas Children's Hospital, where she was initially listed in stable condition, authorities said.
