Former trainer Todd Scherer found dead with gunshot
On Thursday morning, Todd Scherer, the former Trainer, was discovered deceased with multiple gunshot wounds to his stomach, as stated by police sources.
Additionally, according to available documents, Scherer had suffered a deep cut to his head, which was believed to have been caused by a baseball bat.
It was also noted that Scherer’s wallet had been taken from his pants pocket and allegedly stolen it by a young man named Hunts Horse.
The body of the former Trainer was located in one of the tack rooms in Barn R, as reported by the Grand Island Independent.
The police department has launched an investigation into the murder, and the case remains ongoing. One of the prime suspects in the incident is a 20-year-old man named Logan Horse Hunts, who has been taken into custody.
Based on the available information, it appears that Todd Scherer underwent a traumatic experience during his final moments.
Suspect Logan Hunts Horse arrested
Tragically, Todd Scherer, age 65, was found dead in his residence after illicit activity from Logan Horse Hunts, otherwise known as “Horse Hunts.”
Sources reported that there were other teenagers present at the scene. Reportedly, after shooting at Scherer, Hunts and the teens left for Walmart and returned to find Scherer still alive.
It is alleged that this prompted Hunts to hit Scherer in the head one final time with a baseball bat and steal his wallet before fleeing with his girlfriend and splitting the cash inside among them.
Captain Dean Elliott of the GIPD believes this was a premeditated attack, as evidence points to the victim and attackers being acquainted prior to the crime.
Adding yet another puzzling element to the case, an uninvolved juvenile was found asleep in an adjacent room shortly after police arrived at the scene.
The investigation continues, and the authorities are seeking more witnesses in search of facts that may shed light on why such a tragedy occurred.
Moreover, a legal firearm was discovered in any area considered connected to the attack, although no further details have been revealed regarding that particular piece of evidence.
