PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --Exactly two hours after Philadelphia Police released images of a license plate believed to be on the car suspected in the fatal hit-and-run that killed 5-year-old Xavier Moy, the car was parked outside the 26th District Police Department in Fishtown.

Minor damage was visible on the front of the car.

Police say the owner turned the vehicle in.

Sources tell Eyewitness News that person was taken for questioning by the accident investigation division.

It hasn't been determined if he or she is the driver who killed Moy on the 5000 block of Irving Street in West Philadelphia Friday afternoon.

"Please turn yourself in, my family don't deserve this," said Dorothy Moy, a cousin to Xavier. "Please they don't deserve this."

Dorothy Moy showed up at the 26th District, after receiving an alert the car had surfaced. Xavier, she says, is her cousin's son.

"They deserve to know who did it and they deserve to know why did you leave the scene," questioned Dorothy. "Why did you do that? He was a baby. You could have just stayed there, leaving the scene making yourself more guilty. That's not fair."

A long patrol car guarded the 2016 Hyundai. A department flat bed eventually picked up the car and towed it to accident investigations.

Tori Thomas watched as detectives checked out the car, she's seen images of Xavier on the news, but didn't see who got out of the car.

"I actually run a daycare dedicated to quality teaching, it hits home because I have little ones who I am in charge of here," said Thomas.

There is a $5,000 cash reward for anyone that has information that leads to an arrest.

If you have any information about this case, contact police.
