Pensacola man arrested after allegedly shooting wife in the head and dog in the mouth
Editors note: The health of the dog was changed to reflect its survival from the gunshot wound. The ECSO originally told media the dog died from its injuries.
A day after the Escambia County Sheriff's Office announced it was seeking missing Pensacola woman Rosa Kramer, deputies announced they arrested her husband for her death.
Timothy Kramer, 51, was arrested on a homicide warrant Wednesday in connection with the death of his 47-year-old wife, Rosa. The ECSO announced on its Facebook page Tuesday that Rosa had last been seen driving in the vicinity of Ada Wilson Drive and that she was possibly in the company of Timothy Kramer.
"We located her at her home deceased from a gunshot wound," ECSO spokesperson Morgan Lewis told the News Journal.
Lewis said they also found the family dog with a gunshot wound. After transporting it to a veterinary hospital, the dog recovered from its injuries.
Santa Rosa County Sheriff's deputies located Kramer in Milton and arrested him Wednesday, according to ECSO spokesperson Morgan Lewis.
Kramer, according to court records, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder and aggravated animal cruelty. The animal cruelty charge is punishable up to 5 years in prison, but the murder charge carries a mandatory minimum life sentence.
Kramer is held in Escambia County Jail without bond, but he is scheduled for a pretrial detention hearing Tuesday afternoon.
