LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas police investigating the death of a horse are asking the public to help identify the person who killed it.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says a video posted on social media prompted the animal cruelty investigation, which began on June 27.

Detectives with LVMPD's Animal Cruelty Section have launched an investigation and are asking for the public's help to identify the horse's owner, as well as the driver or drivers of the pickup truck depicted in the video.
