DENVER (AP) — The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for help finding a man suspected of fatally shooting a 7-year-old boy on a tribal reservation in Colorado earlier this month. The agency announced the reward Monday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of 23-year-old Jeremiah Hight. Authorities have not released any details about what led up to the Dec. 11 shooting at a home in Towaoc on the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. The FBI’s wanted poster for Hight said the shooting was “targeted at a residence.” Tribal chairman Manuel Heart says he is working on a resolution to ask the federal government to hire more police officers for the reservation.
