A Mississippi woman by the name of Betty Walker was at her last straw over weekend when it came to her neighbor’s dog, Cocaine. In attempt to stop the dog from attacking the neighborhood children, the 53 year-old woman grabbed her gun and shot at the 8-month old pitbull, only to accidentally shoot and kill her husband:
A Jackson man is dead and a neighborhood pet is injured after a shooting by the victim’s wife. She said she was aiming at a pit bull, attacking children, but neighborhood kids say there was no dog attack.
Folks who live in the 2100 block of Oakhurst Drive lost a neighbor this afternoon in a bizarre shooting incident. 53-year-old Robert Walker was killed by his wife, Betty, in what Jackson police are calling an accidental shooting, at this point.
Jackson police officer Colendula Green said, “The dog was trying to attack the kids in the neighborhood and at that time, the wife did shoot at the dog but instead shot her husband in the chest area.”
Robert Ferguson is the cousin of the dog’s owner. He said, “The man that got shot, he was outside with the kids. That’s all we know, we just heard the four gunshots.”
The bullets from one of those gunshots struck Lazarius Montgomery’s 8-month-old pit bulldog.
“Somebody had to pick her up out the gate. Ain’ t no way she could’ve got out the gate. She can’t jump the gate, just 8-months, a puppy,” said Ferguson. [Source]
Although the shooting incident was an accident, Betty Walker has not been charged in her husband’s death. However Jackson Police say the case will be turned over to a grand jury. As far as the dog owner, he may be faced with charges. Smh.
“We thought they was just shootin as usual”…….”cocaine” ………
She knows she meant to kill her husband and used the dog as bait and an excuse. Clearly these owners sniff cocaine to name the dog that.
“Cocaine” is a helluva dog…
Why the officer name “Colundula”? Lawd this is a skit just waiting to be posted on youtube.

Four bullets!!!! to shoot a dog…why not call animal control…is this what you call neighbor watch..
Come on sweetie..IDK if its an accident or not–they may have found it accidental for the shooting of her hubby but they’ll going to hang her on the dog charge…
Hope she has money for the expense for the care of the pet…..
She meant to shoot him… No good neighbors no good lady. And most likely, no good man. I can care less they all need to go to jail!
I know it’s a shame for that man to die, but think of this all animals are GODS creatures, the puppy was eight months and she tried to take the law in her own hands not only the law of the land but GODS law, I Guess God showed her it’s not nice trying to kill something that he created, then used her to kill something he created,, all she had to do was call 911…..
Cocaine?? #Confusedface
The dog owner is very handsome…
The story about the woman trying shoot the dog doesn’t even make any damn sense. But premeditated murder of the husband makes a whole lot more sense.
They named the dog cocaine because the dog is PURE WHITE like cocaine-for the confused people. (still doesn’t make it right though)
What happen to “Snow” lol Cocaine being the first thing that comes to mind when seeing something all white is a terrible thing. lol
Can someone say G_H_E_T_T_O!!!!
thats a damn shame, and i stay in jxn? smh…wtf
Some people on here are commenting like there are no family members connected to this tragedy. This is not a reality show, a joke, or a place to make some animal rights soap box. A man is dead and unless anyone of the commenters were there, who are they to judge?
Dead.
