Authorities are offering a $10,000 award for information that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the April death of a Catawba County pit bull breeder.Roy Thomas Melton, a 38-year-old breeder, was found dead on April 16.
He had been shot to death at his home on South Beulah Road and was found by a friend, the Catawba County Sheriff's office said. When authorities arrived at the trailer, they found 30 pit bulls, which were later euthanized.
Investigators found paperwork in Melton's home that mentioned several names that are also listed in the dog-fighting indictment against Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, Capt. Roy Brown said last month.
Anyone with information is asked to call 828-464-5241.
