Striped hyena?...

Yes, it's a Striped Hyena. They are very rare in that part of the world, so it's sad to see it killed. Unlike the Spotted Hyena, these are mostly scavengers and would probably not pose a risk to domestic livestock or humans unless rabid.

Oh, how sad... I love striped hyenas. They have the coolest manes!
