Member Center:
South Bend - South Bend residents outraged by a dog's shooting death during a home robbery are collecting reward money they hope leads to the arrest of the dog's killer.
Residents have collected more than $1,000 for two reward funds seeking information leading to the arrest of Linus' killer. Owner Dan Warner found his ailing, three-legged Old English sheepdog shot dead when he returned home from work Nov. 9.
The 8-year-old dog had recently lost a front leg while fighting bone cancer.
Gina Oliver created one of the reward funds after reading about the disturbing crime. She says the robbers "crossed a line that no one should ever cross."
South Bend Police Capt. Phil Trent says police are making progress in the case but processing physical evidence will take several weeks.
To contribute to the rewards, visit a 1st Source Bank location to donate to the "Justice for Linus Reward Fund", or a Teachers Credit Union location to donate to "The Justice Fund."
