Wildlife Emergency Services, a wildlife rescue group based in Monterey County, has offered a $5,000 reward to anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who shot a coyote in Silver Lake last month.
Project Coyote earlier put up a $1,000 reward.
The apparent act of vigilantism reportedly occurred sometime in June on Fewood Avenue in a residential neighborhood not far from Griffith Park.
The Los Angeles Police Department’s Animal Cruelty Task Force and the city’s Department of Animal Services are both investigating. No suspects have been identified. Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD Animal Cruelty Task Force at 213-486-0450.
