Carter County, Oklahoma resident Erica Nipp returned home to find her dog Diesel dead in her yard, reported Cop Block on July 15. Erica is using social media websites to get the word out about what she alleges happened to her dog.

Carter County Deputy Daniel King was in the neighborhood looking for a person of interest in a case unrelated to Erica's resident. This happened because the Sheriff's Department received bad information saying the person they were looking for was at her home.

Erica alleges Deputy King was snooping around the property, which consists of 60 acres out in the country, when he must have come across Diesel. Erica discovered his body away from the driveway out past the house, and believes Diesel found the deputy as the property was being searched.

Southern Oklahoma Cop Block has received reporting saying this isn't King's first dog kill. Diesel is also the third questionable dog shooting in Oklahoma in the last two weeks.

No one can say why Deputy King felt the need to kill this Diesel, who is the latest victim of dogs shot by police on their own property. The officer wasn't injured or attacked.

Erica has already contacted an attorney concerning the murder of her family dog

Jesus... snooping around their acreage out in the country, somewhere out past the house? He NEEDED to get bit. Wish the furry one had come out on top instead of the other way around.

While we just have one side of the story, there are non lethal ways to deal with dogs, even big aggressive ones.

This makes that office and that officer look very bad. I am sorry for the loss of the dog, and if it had been mine I would devote considerable resources to an effort toward justice.

waiting for other side of story

it'll be pretty standard, they'll form a committee to investigate, and they'll rule it righteous. They'll release a statement to the effect of:

"Police had a tip that the person of interest was hiding out on the property and King was sent to investigate. While looking for the person of interest he was startled by an aggressive dog, he had no choice but to shoot it. Our hearts go out to the family."

Nothing will happen and it'll recur. Rinse and Repeat

I believe the 1st thing I'd be asking the SO for is a copy of the warrant.

How do you pray for a dead dog?
Anyway, since the deputy didn't feel the need to stay and talk to the owner or explain why he was trespassing, I'd say the shooting wasn't justified.
