RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — A Raleigh family is dealing with the loss of a pet on Christmas
Eve after their dog was shot and killed by a police officer. It happened Tuesday in the 3900 block of Alder Grove Lane in southeast Raleigh.
A Raleigh Police Department spokesman said that during a follow-up investigation related to a stolen vehicle, an aggressive dog charged at an officer.
The officer attempted to back away but the dog continued to advance, and the officer fired his service weapon, striking and killing the dog.
“This is not the result we wanted, especially during the holiday season,” the spokesman told ABC11.
RPD said it is working with the family who owns the dog.
The Internal Affairs Unit is conducting an investigation as is protocol when an officer discharges their weapon.
We have started a GoFundMe campaign in memory of Maxi, a beloved husky who was tragically killed on Christmas Eve in North Carolina by a police officer under unclear circumstances.
Our goal is to raise $15,000, which will be donated to the ASPCA to support their efforts in helping animals in need. Additionally, we aim to locate Maxi’s owner and ensure any support needed reaches them as well.
This campaign is a way to honor Maxi’s life and make a positive impact for other animals. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us work toward justice and compassion for all pets.
Thank you for your support in making a difference !
