Oxford man convicted of killing horses


Brandon Kyle Salers

An Oxford man has been convicted on two counts of killing livestock after fatally shooting two horses last year.
It took a Talladega County jury about 15 minutes to find Brandon Kyle Salers guilty of both of the Class C felonies.
Last year, Renee Rice found two of her horses, Penny and Twinkle, shot to death in her pasture on McIntosh Road. That's in a part of Oxford that extends into Talladega County.
Twinkle, a paint horse, belonged to Rice's seven-year-old daughter, and evidence suggested it suffered for awhile before it died of its wounds.
Salers is now in the Talladega County Jail on $10,000 bond. He's set to be sentenced April 14 in Talladega. He could get one to 10years in prison for each count.
