NEW YORK. KAZINFORM Philadelphia police conducted an around-the-clock manhunt over the weekend for two suspects in a carjacking that left three children dead and their mother in critical condition.

Cops say two men -- one black, one Hispanic -- carjacked a real estate agent at gunpoint Friday morning and drove around the city at high speeds while holding the woman, whose name has not been released, in the backseat, Lt. John Stanford said.

The stolen SUV struck a family working at a street-corner fruit stand in north Philadelphia, killing 10-year-old Thomas Reed. Seven-year-old Terrence Moore and Keiearra Williams, 15, died at a hospital. They were the children of 34-year-old Keisha Williams, who is still in critical condition, according to Giselle Zayon of Temple University Hospital.

The SUV wrecked in a wooded area and the two men ran away.

The family worked at the fruit stand to raise money for their church, according to police.

"They were sweet," Ursula Jackson told CNN affiliate KYW . "They were beautiful, they were beautiful little kids."

The father of the 7-year-old boy urged the suspects to surrender to authorities, CNN reports.

"Taking innocent peoples' lives. That was my son," he told KYW. "You took him away from me. Turn yourself in."

A reward of $110,000 has been offered for information leading to their arrest.

Stanford said over the weekend the homicide unit was "following up on a number of tips and leads but (it had) nothing concrete at this time."
