Another dog was found murdered in Parsons.

Parsons PD responded to a report of a dead animal that had been found and was wrapped up in a blanket the animal was found thrown next to a small bridge near Felix and 17th Street. Upon discovery of the animal, it was taken to Parsons Pet Hospital to undergo a full autopsy to determine the cause of death. The report from the autopsy stated that there was severe trauma to the underside of the dog's abdomen and trauma around the neck from the choke chain that was still on the animal. All trauma was consistent with a human killing the animal and was not consistent with an animal attack or vehicle strike.

The dog, “Drako”, makes the 3rd reported dog killed in less than a year in the same area of the city that "Bleu" had been shot and killed, "Zeus" had been shot, and "Ranger" had been brutally killed. The reward for information leading to the arrest of “Ranger's” killer has been updated to $34,000.
