Horse Found Shot And Killed In Molino Pasture; ECSO Investigating
November 8, 2022
An investigation is underway after a horse was shot and killed in a pasture behind a Molino home.
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 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.

Whoever did this, your day is coming. Karma!
There is a special place in Hell for any and all who hurt Children, Elderly and Animals! Society may not be able to bring you to the deserved justice but you will face it.
What you have taken away can never be replaced. (Not that you ultimately care)
I just laid to rest a mare that I spent 33yrs of my life with and I promise you, what you have done is create a heartache for those who shared theirs with this fella. Does not matter if you had a “beef” with the owner or not, this is not how one handles it. I would not believe this to be a “hunting accident” because I have never looked upon a Deer with White Socks not to mention the Full Blaze that had to be seen!
Make It Easier with these two options ~ Come Forward and Own Your Actions or Brag (someone will like the reward offered more than you)
Off memory, Animals along Jacks Branch Rd being shot, Cow being roped & drug in Walnut Hill and then you have the daily starvation/abuse cases – Wondering how much we have to endure before a harsh example is set?
People that do this type of crime move on to harming people, Turn him in before he hurts your child, your wife, ect.. Put a stop to him.
I was wrong with my comment assuming drunk hoodlums did this. To shoot a horse twice in the head they had to come really close to the pasture and then aim in the dark.
I hope ESCO investigates if the owner had some kind of quarrel with someone. I doubt that a reward offered for information would bring results. Just like the Shootings over drugs – there is some distorted code of silence in the community.
A special place in hell…..
Hope they find who did this to that poor baby so sad.
I have to agree with Cowgirl.
This wasn’t an accident.
I will offer a reward to help find the ones responsible. What is the best way to do this? This is not acceptable, it was in the neighbors pasture by their home.
Such a shame, poor baby. The person that
did this is inhuman.
2 shots.. To the head.. This was no accident.
I certainly hope the idiot that did this knows he or she better not slow down near this property ever again.
Does Kingdom Law cover your land and home?
If you post no trespassers can you deal with people on your own? I’ve sure there are plenty of arm chair lawyers and judges on here to answer my questions.
there are some sick people walking around with guns. hope someone knows who did this and turns them in.
I do hope the sheriff Dept finds the hateful person who killed this horse. Animal Abuse plus the killer needs to be put in a mental ward for treatment. Do not let this killer have any type of farm animal or domestic animal.
The shooter has to be one screwed up individual. No matter who knows they did this horrible thing, they’ll pay for it several times over. So sorry the owner lost their Buddy for no good reason.
How awful. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope the find who did this horrible thing.
heartless evil people.
It amazes me when people say things like this person has no soul and I will pray for the person who did this !!! Makes no sense to me !!!!! HERE IS THE DEAL OK !!!! When caught make sure a example is made out of this person!!! Prison time and plenty of it !!! I’m talking at least 15 years in there !! People don’t have any sympathy for a bottom feeder like this
There’s no words for this.why would anyone shoot a precious animal .if they can find who shoots people they can find these people who did this.its not just an animal as some people say it’s God’s creature.i hope they find the person an give him just as must time as a human time in prison.that was someone’s pet.
When I read this it made me nauseated. I have owned four horses over the years a loved each one. They become more like family the longer you are around them. Whoever destroyed the life of this old friend has no idea how great a loss it is to his owner. This was a heartless act and they really need to be found out and punished for the destruction of a noble and elegant creature. My heart goes out to his owner, for this kind of loss doesn’t go away.
I believe someone knows who that useless piece of trash is that kills defenseless animals. Probably riding around drunk at night (they rarely go joy riding /mud slinging alone) I recall a story a couple of years ago where a pregnant cow was dragged to death in its pasture overnight . If you are his buddy, step up and do the right thing!!
There are evil people in this world that kill innocent animals! Please start a reward for information and i want to contribute!
I’m deeply saddened by this news. Prayers for all on the loss of such a spiritual animal. I’ll pray for the troubled soul, that felt the need to take this precious horse. God will have the judgement for the evil soul that did this murder.
There is a special place in hell for individuals that harm animals. I hope the person responsible can be found and prosecuted.
I wonder if it could be the same person who shot and killed those goats in Cantonment last year?
Who would do such a HEARTLESS thing? One could have been accidental, but 2 shame on them!
The individual(s) that did this have no soul.
I hope they find the person responsible and they spend years in prison.
Why would someone shoot a defenseless horse in its own pasture, smh. Even our horses aren’t safe anymore. What a coward
So very sad. I hope they find who did this.
