A road rage incident has taken the life of a Pennsylvania woman driving in North Carolina with her husband to go on vacation.
According to PEOPLE, Julie Eberly, 47, was shot through her car’s passenger door late Thursday morning. Julie and her husband, Ryan Eberly, were driving southbound on Interstate 95 when the shooting took place.
Officers say that the suspect was driving a silver or grey 2000 Malibu or Impala with dark tinted windows and chrome around the frames and was last seen driving over a bridge.
Julie was transported to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Her husband was uninjured.
During a Friday press release, authorities said there is a $10,000 reward for information on her death.
“The reward was provided to the Sheriff on Friday afternoon by a Robeson County resident that wishes to remain anonymous,” the press release said.
“While we hope that anyone with information in this case would come forward, this provided incentive should be cause to do so even more. I appreciate the resident coming forth with this reward,” Sheriff Burnis Wilkins said in a statement.
Julie’s family member Susan Eberly wrote on Julie’s GoFundMe page that she and her husband were on their way to vacation.
“We want to raise funds to honor Julie and her life. Julie was a beautiful, loving, generous, and giving person,” Susan wrote. “We will be using the funds to help others and to give to the organizations that were close to her heart.”
“We are thankful for the outpouring of love and prayers from the Lumberton and Manheim/Lancaster Communities,” she continued. “May Julie’s death not be in vain, and may her memory live on by the giving in her name.”
