Gabriel Posey, 21, has been charged with carrying a weapon on liquor license premises, cruelty to a non-livestock animal, deadly conduct by discharging a firearm and evading arrest after confessing to shooting the dog.
The store’s surveillance video shows a brown-and-gray dog walking around in the parking lot of the store and also shows Posey standing in the parking lot, according to court documents. Posey leaves the area and comes back but this time wearing a white clown mask and walking toward the dog while carrying a black handgun, according to court documents.
Posey is then seen pointing the gun at the dog and firing 10-15 shots at the animal before running from the scene, according to court records.
Officers responded to the scene to collect the shell casings and review surveillance video, according to records. Investigators were able to identify the suspect based on the previous video showing him without the clown mask, records show. Posey was then identified from previous mug shots, records show. He was located and arrested later that same day, according to court records.
