Victim Lonnie Alford Ray went to the fast food joint’s parking lot Monday after arranging the sale of the in-demand dog.
A 76-year-old dog breeder who thought he was about to sell a French bulldog was instead shot and killed by a group of suspects who stole the prized pup outside a South Carolina KFC, authorities said.
Lee County Sheriff Daniel Simon said Lonnie Alford Ray, a father of four, went to the fast food joint’s parking lot Monday after arranging the sale of the in-demand dog when several men snatched the French bulldog’s leash and fired several shots at Ray.Simon called the slaying “heartless” and said he lost his life over “something senseless.”“He won the battle with cancer.
A 77-year-old friend with Ray at the time of the botched sale was shot at, but was not injured, Simon said, according to the Times. French bulldogs have become a lucrative dog breed with the four-legged friends worth thousands of dollars. But the much-sought after breed has also led to instances of violence in attempts to steal the dogs.
