angieharmon Edited•2dThis Easter weekend a man delivering groceries for Instacart shot & killed our precious Oliver. He got out of his car, delivered the food & THEN shot our dog. Our ring camera was charging in the house, which he saw & then knew he wasn’t being recorded. The police let him go b/c he claimed “self defense”. He did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his pants torn.  He was shopping under a woman’s identity named Merle… the pic is on my story. He shot our dog with my daughters & myself at home & just kept saying, “yeah, I shot your dog. Yeah I did.” We are completely traumatized & beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved boy & family member. #RIP OLLIE
