Carter was shot in the head when she was caught in crossfire in front of her Camden home Wednesday evening, authorities have said. She died Friday

The reward had risen steadily from $5,000 the first day to $24,000 on Saturday

On Sunday, the Norcross family committed to donate $26,000 if someone comes forward with helpful information in the investigation, according to Camden County Police spokesman Mike Daniels.

Donald Norcross is the state representative for the 1st Congressional District and his brother, George E. Norcross, is a Democratic party leader.

Camden County Police Department Chief Scott Thomson has said that police have not received much helpful information, despite the reward and the family's call for justice. 

Anyone with information is asked to call 215-546-TIPS or 877-345-TIPS.

Also on Sunday, Michael Carter, the uncle of Gabrielle Hill Carter, started a Gofundme campaign to help cover the costs of her funeral.

"Gabby was an Angel and [is] still an Angel," he said. "She loved everyone and anyone that came into her life."

The goal of the campaign is to raise $12,000. In its first day, the page was shared over 450 times and $300 had been donated.

NBC 10 reported that Gabrielle Hill Carter's family gathered around her hospital bed before she was taken off life support on Friday.

A vigil was held Saturday night to remember "Gabby." Her family mourned the fun-loving girl and called for anyone with information to come forward, 6abc reported.
