Group offers $20K reward for info in Hubbard killing

HUBBARD — A group of friends of a Hubbard man found shot to death earlier this year has raised $14,000 to help Crime Stoppers find his killer.

The money raised by Justice For Cody raises the total award in the case to $20,000 for information leading to an arrest in the Cody Pitts murder case.

Pitts, 26, was killed March 7 on Orchard Avenue.

Pam Kerola, one of the group members, said the extra money was raised through various fundraisers. The group Justice For Cody consists of several of his ex-Hubbard High School football teammates as well as their parents, Kerola said.

At first the group had $3,000 in donations, then that amount was doubled by two donors, but the group wanted more because they did not think that amount of money would garner good information, Kerola said.
