Conflicting witness statements???? Rally…. What a joke. The only thing conflicting is what the gunman and his household members reported verses what the family of Shiloh reported! Either way the video and the blood trail is more than enough evidence to convict Jeff Leake of his actions! But then again the Lead Deputy at the scene and the gunmams daughter are very close friends and a complete conflict of interest. Also why does it take 5-7 days to get a copy of a police report? Time to change it up maybe????

There were no injuries or signs of a fight at Jeff Leaks house or on his animals and kids. Stopping clowning around and do your fucking job. Shots fired within 15ft of three kids killing someone elses dog; shooter changed his story 3 times and has no injuries.

Ive been by thay house a hundred timea to go see my Mom below Tommys house . That that dog has never went outside her yard. The proscutor in Greene makes his own rules . And charges people when and who he wants . Makes deals and the changes up . Karma is bitch and she will shows her face when they when least expect it . Cant wait til voteing time comes back around

Greene County police no longer have my respect or support. Yall are useless.

From these post. I'm assuming the dog went onto the neighbors property. The neighbor allegedly shot the dog. I'm not defending anyone here but dosent greene have a leash law?

I see the community outrage has caused a quick backpedal. Greene county CA: quick, your corruption is showing! 🤭

I'm sad that someone killed a dog.he doesnt know hes trespassing.Hope that never happens to me.JUST SAYING.

This is why you have people who take justice into their own hands and wind up seriously hurting someone, because they can’t depend on the police to do anything justly…. And that’s sad … I can’t imagine someone hurting/killing my fur babies or the rage I would feel …to most of us pet owners our fur babies are equivalent to our children my heart breaks for the children involved you can clearly see the pain trauma and complete fear in that poor child’s face and it kills me that that isn’t top of the list for law enforcement that man has permanently scarred that child … complete jackas*

Dog or no dog.... So what I'm hearing is shooting in a neighborhood with bystanders in close vicinity is cool? Oh, okay, then. 😶 (If one of the children had been struck inadvertently, glad to know conflicting statements (cause that's what an investigation comes down to, duh!) would mean no action taken by the Sheriff's Dept. Definitely somewhere families want to call home...... 🤦‍♀️)

Your post yesterday literally says “charges for this matter were denied.” ….. now you’re saying at no time did you or the CA deny charges??? I’m sorry, but who denied the charges then? The neighbor? LMAO. What a disgrace and perfect example of a good ‘ol boys club.

Dog aside, YOU CAN NOT OPEN FIRE WHILE CHILDREN ARE AROUND IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. CHARGES SHOULD BE FILED FOR THAT ALONE.

Hmmm maybe vsp needs to head this one. Whoever writes these fb posts needs to stick to one story “charges were denied” per the last post… but yet this one says different 🤥🤥🤔

I am blown away at the fact that there were no charges brought against this man. Brandishing a firearm in a commission to commit a felony, shooting towards an occupied dwelling, Reckless endangerment of a child,and in the state of Virginia it is against the law to shoot a dog unless it is attacking your chicken or your livestock so therefore this man should have been charged for all of this. But what do I know I have a criminology degree. But I advise that the family contact the today show and go public with this, some high dollar attorney will have a field day with this as it should be. This man better hope that he has bite marks attack marks and better yet an ER visit to support his claim. I cannot believe the lack of responsibility of that deputy for not doing his job or the Commonwealth.

According the the news coverage the dog was shot with a rifle too??? That certainly contradics any claims "self defense".

“Charges for this mattered were denied” but y’all never said it? Go look at your last post 😂?

What a joke! I hope street justice gets served! If that was my dog, I'd be holding court at his front door. All the Leake's are trash and think they are entitled. I pray I run into him....

My daughter was bitten by a dog years ago and the owner immediately done away with the dog. He said he would not have a dog around that would bite a kid. A few years back in Greene County my Girlfriends daughter was bit in the face by a neighbors dog and she has a scar on her face. Nothing was done with the dog. Animal control wouldn't do a thing. Maybe they could or maybe they couldn't? The dog had always been mean. If owner had done something with the dog beforehand she wouldn't have been bitten and left with a scare the rest of her life. Now about the dog everyone is feeling sorry for that was shot on Sunday. I have stopped at that residence 2 times for business and have rode by there on other occasions and that dog would run out to edge of yard with a bark that would make you think he would rip the tires off of a vehicle. The 2 times I stopped for powder coating business the dog barked and growled like he was going to eat me alive! The first time the dog was in the house barking thru the storm door and I was scared to walk up to the door. The second time the owner had to keep telling the dog to behave. Once in the powder coating facility I felt safe but I wouldn't turn my back on that dog for a second. The reason I'm writing this is that it's to late once a dog mauls or bites a child. It can't always be fixed after it happens. Everyone is basing their opinion off of one video. What happened leading up to Sunday? How many times has this dog caused someone fear? Or some child fear? I'm not defending anyone but I've been in the emergency room with 2 little girls getting their faces sewn up and having to go through the pain of rabies shots. Which my daughter didn't have rabies shots because the owner of that dog is a good person and that dog had all its shots and the owner had the papers to prove it. It's no fun watching a child cry and scream while being sewed up in their face! I won't have a mean dog around that can cause anyone harm and then you still never know? It's a animal not a person. Whats more important a human life or a animal. I'm sure this will offend some but think about your child being bitten and scarred for life or even being killed by a viscious dog such as this dog seemed to be?

If this is not handled in a justified way to Shiloh and her family I am positive you will never be commonwealth attorney for Greene county again, this is a most unhumane and wreckless handling of a gun incident I’ve ever seen. He should be in jail!

You can discharge your fire arm if you feel your life is threatened or somebody or something is trying to do you bodily harm but with that being said I know the people I know the dog I have a dog and my dog is 90 poundsAnd I’m just not buying the story because I can tell you if my dog decided to attack at a distance of 20 yards you would not have time to get your gun out before he would be on you I don’t care what nobody says that man had his gun out waiting for that dog to come in his yard Because there had been problems before that man was waiting for that dog and he should be punished for what he did

If anyone watches the video and watches the time there is not enough time for a dog ro attack someone. Also it's funny that there were no blood trails on the neighbors side where he shot from. It was on the side where the dog lived. I am also unclear how anyone thinks it's ok to open fire around children that were playing in yard with the dog. I mean if the child got hit then would there be charges filed? This is improper use of a firearm. I mean they don't mind taking peoples firearms for less things

I bet if this was a k9 officer charges would stand how is this family getting justice??? What about the children?

this is why nobody fucks with greene county. sorry, not sorry 🙂.

The person who shot the dog should be arrested & have their day in court. Period. By not doing anything, you've only added more fuel to the fire.

So how many of us plan to vote against Steve next election? How many Greene county natives are going to sweep this under the rug and let the good old boys club continue?

 Tera Wells Thomas Tera Wells Thomas is at Greene County, Va. Sheriff's Office. · Stanardsville Shared with Public PLEASE EVERYONE SHARE THIS BECAUSE i THINK THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTY SHOULD KNOW HOW THEY HANDLED THIS MATTER Wasn't going to be the whole story up until I spoke with our sheriff but that conversation was the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life so here's the conversation from our Sheriff Steve Smith... Steven Smith Facebook You sent Today at 9:19 AM Yesterday was the scariest day I've ever had in my life. My daughter has a pit bull & one of her friends came over with another pit & the dogs just didn't get along. So her dog got loose from her & went after the other dog & ended up fighting. She was trying to get them separated & got drug down to the ground & couldn't get up meanwhile my grandson was out there & I heard him screaming & crying I ran out 2 see what was going on & he was crying pointing over to where they were all I could do was pick him up & run into the house with him. I could see that they still had her down on the ground from my window & her friend was steadily hitting the dog with his fist 2 make her stop but this only angered her. During all this I called 911. My son in law Neil Angelo Chavez was out there trying to help but the other dog would not let him even get close to them. When I'm telling you scary I mean scary. I felt horrible because I couldn't help my daughter. I thought for sure these dogs was going to kill her. This was so terrifying to have to just sit back & watch. She finally got loose & she was ok. Reminder I called 911 (Greene Co.) when this 1st started & it took 20min. for them to get here maybe longer. This all started because they were trying to introduce the 2 dogs & they were not happy. So please everyone if you try 2 introduce any 2 dogs the best way to do this is from cage to cage...also this guy was already asked to remove himself from my property b4 this because I could tell he was under the influence & my daughter was yelling the whole time telling him to stop hitting the dog because this was making it worse. So I told all the officers that this guy I'm sure was intoxicated so after they spoke to him he admitted he didn't have a license & after everything that was done I told them to just get him off my property because even my daughter was scared of him because she hadn't known him long enough to really know him & after my daughter got free she ran to my room where I had locked me & my grandson & was also to scared to come out. Well the officer told this guy to go ahead & pull off of my property but in the same breath said I'm not leaving yet so basically telling him to drive on which the guy did. They never gave him any kind of test to make sure he wasn't intoxicated & let him drive away. I even said when the guy was getting ready 2 pull off that he didn't even have a seatbelt on. So this is our sheriff's office letting a loose cannon pull off with no license & intoxicated, he could have killed himself or someone else. So I will be going to the media & anywhere else that will listen to me because this is not ok... You sent Today at 9:19 AM Wanted to message you privately You sent Today at 9:21 AM I was just really angry & If you could just make sure something is done about this I will not go public I was just super concerned about this guy Steven Smith Steven sent Today at 9:22 AM I'll check into it You sent Today at 9:23 AM That's fine ty...my husband has a pic of the gentleman's truck & plate You sent Today at 9:24 AM And there was 3 witnesses to this You sent Today at 9:30 AM Please lmk what is done because this should not be taken lightly 10:25 AM Steven Smith

I'm confused. If the dog's blood is really 100% on the owner's property like is claimed on the witnesses' posts, how is this not being further investigated? Was the location of the blood even taken into consideration when making this decision? I would be really curious to see what the police report says other than "he said, she said." Why not issue the charges and let a judge or jury decide? Last time I checked, that is how our justice system works. But I only have a degree in Criminal Justice, so what do I know? Something doesn't add up here at all. Either the location of the blood was ignored by the police or the owner and her witnesses lied about the dog being on her property when he was shot.

This is disgusting and outrageous, and law enforcement, yep that is there job, to enforce the law (refer back to animal cruelty being a felony in VA, and and this was not done!discharging a fire arm in a residential area),

Is Commonwealth Attorney an elected position? Or just the sheriff?

As they were instructed by the sheriffs office, they went to Central Virginia Regional Jail and met with Magistrate Bistel who informed them that this was not a Magistrate matter, it was a Greene County Sheriffs Office matter and they should have been the ones to file charges. They have now been instructed to go back to the Greene County Sheriffs Office to pursue it once again. So once again, there is still NO charges pending or actions being taken against the gunman. #JusticeForShiloh

You're perhaps some of the most incompetent police around. The man fired a load weapon with in 300 feet of a liveable dwelling. Hell just discharging an fire arm if justified or not it needs to be investigated further.

remember this when y'all go to vote!

This is absolutely disgusting I am appalled by the people who are supposed to protect and serve their community. Your community WILL remember this.

You guys do know it's the cops job to enforce the law not uphold it right 🤔 it's not up to the sheriff's department to make charges stick that's completely up to a commonwealths attorney yes it's sad what happened to that poor dog and I hope the sorry sob who shot her gets what he deserves but make sure you point blame to where it actually needs to go for instance the commonwealths attorney 🤦‍♂️

What about the cat that was shot?!! That should be an easy case to solve- just sayin!

I have to wonder with this good ol' boy attitude in Greene County, if the reaction would be the same if a child had been shot.

It is a big crime to kill a domesticated animal and large fines etc

When I was out there though I was the 1 who told them about him being under the influence of something and I seen him drive away and I was the 1 who said something about his seat belt because of him being under the influence and the 1 officer just said he's just driving off the property to wait 4 someone to pick him up because he doesn't have license but that's when he continued to drive on

Very concerning!!! A dog this time!🥲 where a family gathered on their front porch with children in the yard. Playing on that side of the house . On the side where the dog was. In a neighborhood where houses are close. Excuse Me how can this be dismissed?? Look at the facts! Safety is what Greene needs. Letting someone do this without being responsible of their actions sends the wrong message. Hope he is made accountable. Next time he may not like a child running in his yard 🙄 it was brave of the sheriffs dept to openly let its citizens know . It’s lack of doing anything on this case. Sad on so many levels 🥲

Dog killer is a cops brother. No wonder he’s not charged with anything. What if the kid got hit instead of the dog, would y’all book him or let a child killer run loose?

Absolutely disgusting!!! What’s next, a child can be shot twice and charges will be denied?! Could have been the outcome of this situation with children next door playing with the dog….

Most likely denied because another swept under the rug case due to the ANIMAL MURDERS brother being a GC deputy. This makes me irate, and I can only imagine how the family members are feeling in this situation. He could have easily hit one of those children, and just took the life of a families dog out of pure hatred. I don’t believe any of the bullshit he’s portraying to defend himself. The commonwealth attorney should be ashamed of themselves and the handling of this situation. Our justice system is slowly failing us, and this right here proves why. Do better Greene county.

Typical Greene County, Va. Sheriff's Office. Not the first thing they’ve tried to slide under the radar

I believe there's a connection between the guilty murderer of this dog and someone within the Greene County Administration! Where's the concern about someone discharging a firearm in public or reckless endangerment? Don't "Mayberry" this case. CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!!

Disgusting, evil and sickening-this is going to reach far beyond Greene county, get ready.

Someone needs to contact the local news station. The rest of the community needs to know that this is being blown off! Especially if it’s because of family connections to the Administration. This is 100% unacceptable!

The residents of Greene Co. will remember this come election time. Not a good reputation for the sheriff’s department and not a good look. Sounds like they aren’t willing to stand up and take action to help their own community. When someone fires shots in a closely occupied neighborhood like this, especially with children out playing with their pet, on their property, minding their own business, that’s big time wrong. Where are you guys when the community needs you? Why can’t you step up and do your jobs to help seek justice for this innocent family? Animal cruelty is a crime also. Killing an innocent family pet on its own property is a crime. What is wrong with you greene county sheriffs department. Help this family and do what is right!

Individuals that have a willingness to harm animals will typically escalate to harming people. If they don’t respect an animal’s life, their disrespectful all around. GCSO, the next call you get may be for domestic disturbance or child abuse

A crime is a crime, and a crime was committed!! Animal cruelty is a felony! Discharging a firearm in a residential area is against the law!!!!

It turns out the murderer is a former Greene deputy!!!! I wonder if this has anything to do with them not prosecuting him??!!!

If not for the dog, how about discharging a firearm in a subdivision. Or better yet, how about discharging a firearm near children in an uncontrolled environment?
