A Clackamas County family was devastated to find their horse shot to death in the pasture over the weekend and now they hope police can help them find the killer.

Jennifer Crull and William Lukenbill said they last saw three-year-old Yukon alive on Sunday when they let him out to pasture along with their five other horses.

Then, that same afternoon, they noticed him lying motionless in the grass.

“He’ truly one of your loved ones, and to find him in that condition out in the pasture... Whoever did this, I just hope they realize what a horrible hole they've created in our family and in our life,” Crull said.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.
