LANSING (WWJ/AP) - The family of a Lansing man shot and killed last month while hunting deer in Michigan is offering a more than $8,000 reward for information about his death.

The Lansing State Journal reports that Chong Yang's family held a candlelight vigil for 68-year-old Chong Yang Thursday at the state Capitol.

"Help us find closure, help us obtain Orange Justice," family spokesman Joseph Yang said.

Police said Chong Yang was found dead Nov. 16 while hunting deer on public land near the 8500 block of East Clark Road, about three miles east of Bath Township, a couple of miles from I-96. A that time, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Clinton County Sheriff's Office said they were wok to determine how he could have been shot, given the fact he was wearing hunter's safety orange, and who may have pulled the trigger.

Joseph Yang said the family initially believed the death was an accident, but they now believe it was an "intentional shooting to kill and rob our family member in the woods."

The family said one main reason they suspect foul-play is because Chong Yang's firearm and backpack were taken, a fact police have confirmed. They believe he was ambushed because there was no evidence of a gunfight and Chong was an experienced and aware hunter.

Township police told the Journal in an email that they haven't yet determined whether or not the shooting was intentional, and no suspects have been named.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Bath Township Police Department at 517-641-6271.

Speratately, on the same day -- which marked the opening of firearms deer season -- a 38-year-old hunter died when he was shot by another hunter in the village of Alden, roughly 20 miles northeast of Traverse City in Antrim County. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources said they believed that shooting to be an accident.
