Suspect shoots man and dog who were out for a walk

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Authorities are searching for the suspect they believe shot and killed a man last week while he was walking his dog. The dog was also shot that day. According to the criminal complaint, it reports 22-year-old Xavier Marquez killed Shawn Lynch in the middle of the day last week.

Witnesses tell investigators, Lynch and his dog Yessica, were walking down Kentucky Street on the Southeast side of town when the dog may have barked at Marquez who was sitting in his truck. The witness said Marquez got out and started yelling at Lynch and Yessica.

Marquez then reportedly pulled at a 9mm handgun and shot Yessica point-blank. The complaint then said Lynch was furious and started cursing at Marquez and that’s when he reportedly turned the gun on Lynch shooting him in the head.

Police say Marquez took off, leaving Lynch bleeding in the street with Yessica not leaving his side. Lynch died six days after being taken to the hospital. As for Yessica, she continues to recover. Veterinarians removed the bullet lodged inside her left thigh and it was collected as evidence in this investigation.

If a person gets so triggered by a dog barking, he/she needs to be kept far away from folks

No one deserves this kind of death and shabby treatment from their home, "the greatest country evah"?
Yeah, right...

*any gun humpers getting triggered about this are cordially invited to piss off...fewer guns and restricted access to them prevents this kind of lunacy...for fuck's sake, the goddamn "Wild West" had ordinances where the local sheriff could collect guns from people entering the town. America 2021...so great you need to be armed and on a hair trigger to survive walking the fucking dog.

Yeah, I guess I am feeling more triggered by this story than most...I can't take this place much longer, its horrible for my health and well-being.

and this murderer had no business having access to them.

So the dog barked at him. Big deal, he was safely in his vehicle. I hope his life sentence in prison is utter misery.
