Two Clinton County men are facing felony charges in the shooting deaths of two dogs found dead in Boone County in March.
CLINTON COUNTY, Indiana — Two Clinton County men are facing felony charges in the shooting deaths of two dogs found dead in Boone County earlier this year.
The dogs, both Labrador retrievers, were found dead March 27, 2025, nine days after the Humane Society of Clinton County reached out to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, believing the dogs were on a property in Boone County. Investigators later determined the dogs had been shot and killed at the location after collecting evidence at the scene on March 21.
The dogs were later identified as Ruby and Nellie, the two dogs reported missing by the humane society. In April, the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University confirmed that both dogs had died from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds.
The Boone County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges May 13 against 49-year-old Paul Ed Bowman and 21-year-old Brayden Bowman, both of Kirklin, Indiana. Both men were charged with Killing a Domestic Animal and Obstruction of Justice. Paul Bowman was also charged with Conspiracy to Commit Killing a Domestic Animal.
Warrants have been issued for each of their arrests.
The investigation into the case is ongoing.
