Gary Leon Cox, 53, was shot dead in Elkmont, Alabama, on February 21, 2015, after an argument with his girlfriend about a dog harness. The woman, Dawn Doreen Child, 49 at the time and who ran a dog-grooming and pet-sitting business, reportedly became angry when Cox did not leave a harness on a dog. The dispute escalated into a physical altercation during which the couple shoved each other, and Child then retrieved a handgun and shot Cox three times.

Child was arrested and charged with murder and was initially released on a $50,000 bond. That bond was revoked in July 2017 after she faced a subsequent theft charge, and she was returned to the Limestone County Jail. A trial was scheduled for September 2017, with a plea date set for the end of August.

Did anyone in the Elkmont area see or hear anything about the argument that night, or does anyone have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
