A $25,000 reward was offered Wednesday by Los Angeles County in the death of a 24-year-old bicyclist who was struck by a hit-and-run driver on the Terminal Island Freeway earlier this month.

Announcing the reward at a morning news conference, county Supervisor Janice Hahn appealed to anyone who might know something about the accident at 3 a.m. March 3 that claimed the life of Cole Micek of San Pedro. The reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Micek’s death. Witnesses are asked to call 562-570-7132.

Police are seeking the drivers of two cars — a white Toyota Camry (model year 2015-17) and a late 1990s Honda Accord with a sunroof and dark hood. According to police, both cars struck Micek on Route 47 and fled without calling 911. Long Beach police officers found him at Pier A Way and administered medical assistance, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

“This tragedy has hit our community hard,” a tearful Hahn said, adding that Micek played for the Eastview Little League growing up and graduated from Port of Los Angeles High School in 2012.

Long Beach Police Detective Sirilo Garcia said the Toyota is missing a 6-by-12-inch piece of the right front fender and the Accord lost its passenger side mirror (which may have been replaced by now) and has a dark strip along the passenger-side door section.

Several of Micek’s grieving family members appeared with Hahn at the news conference.

“Cole was more than an individual, he was somebody’s son, he was somebody’s friend, he was my nephew,” said Micek’s uncle, John Wells, addressing the drivers of the two cars. “So if you have a heart, do the right thing.”

Micek was born in Torrance and was working as an auto mechanic at his father’s shop, San Pedro Chrysler Specialists in San Pedro and Championship Dodge-Chrysler in Downey. He had a certificate in welding and enjoyed dirt bike riding, paintball, hunting and baseball.

Micek’s father, Chris, pleaded with the public to call police if they know anything and asked those responsible to come forward.

“I know this was an accident, but you’ve got to have heart,” he said. “You can’t live life like this, your conscience is going to get to you sooner or later.”
