CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF) – A Horry County resident is in shock and seeking answers after her beloved pet dog, Ace, was tragically found shot to death over the weekend.

According to a police report obtained by WMBF News, an officer from the Horry County Police Department responded to a distressing call on Bramblewood Lakes Drive on Sunday afternoon. The officer met with the devastated dog owner to investigate the incident.

The heartbroken owner recounted that three of her dogs had escaped early on Sunday morning, but only two of them returned home on their own after a couple of hours. Despite extensive searches, the third dog, Ace, remained missing.

Later that same day, the owner received a call from a concerned individual who had discovered Ace’s lifeless body in a retention pond near their residence on Gravelly Shore Drive, just a street away. The owner rushed to the scene and found Ace had been pulled out of the pond.

Tragically, Ace had suffered two visible gunshot wounds, one to the left side and another at the very center top portion of his head. The wounds indicated the use of a small-caliber firearm, as detailed in the police report.

WMBF News had the opportunity to speak with JoAnn Luyster, the devastated owner of Ace, who shared fond memories and expressed her grief over the loss of her loyal companion.

The Horry County community is in shock over this cruel act of violence towards a defenseless animal. The investigation is currently ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and help bring justice for Ace.
