A group of local residents is now offered a $3,000 reward in the case of a horse that was found shot to death in a Molino pasture.
The horse was found dead Sunday in a pasture behind a home near the Don Sutton Ballpark on Crabtree Church Road. According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s, the horse had suffered two gunshot wounds to the head.
The local residents are offered the reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible. The $3,000 reward is in addition to any reward that may be paid by Crime Stoppers.
The 27-year old horse had been seen the night before by the homeowner, who was boarding the horse for the owner.
“He has been with me almost my whole life so I could not believe when I heard it,” the owner, who wished to remain anonymous, told NorthEscambia.com.
The ECSO said their crime scene unit was called to investigate, and Escambia County Animal Control also responded Sunday afternoon.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 433-STOP or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.
