BLM offers reward for assistance in wild horse shooting investigation in Beaver County
SALT LAKE CITY - The Bureau of Land Management is asking for the public's help in solving an investigation into the shooting death of three wild horses northwest of Minersville Reservoir on the Mineral Range Mountains. A member of the public found the horses on Saturday and reported it to the Beaver County Sheriff's Office. BLM is offering $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.
Evidence indicates that the shooting likely occurred several days prior to the report. Initial information indicates there is no correlation in these deaths with those that occurred on the Onaqui wild horse Herd Management Area in northern Utah.
The public is encouraged to call the BLM Utah Law Enforcement Tip-Line: (800) 722-3998 with any information regarding the shooting, anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, or any observations of shooting occurring during the period of Dec. 28, 2024 – Jan. 3, 2025.
