He and his dog, Bari, scanned the Walmart lot where the suspect had been two hours earlier before the Dutch shepherd pulled hard at the 30-foot lead as it neared a series of tractor trailers parked in the field.

The dog discovered Renfro jammed in the undercarriage of one of the trailers, the 40-caliber Glock he had stolen from Moore’s body was hidden in the framework along with two large-capacity magazines.

A hollow-point bullet was in the chamber of the Glock and the magazines were loaded.

Shaw located him by his screams.

“Ouch, ouch ow,” Renfro yelled.

As Renfro was being bitten by Bari, Shaw shouted into the dark undercarriage at Renfro to show his hands. Shaw saw one of Renfro’s hands fall empty from the undercarriage, but did not call off the dog.

“Because the other hand could have a gun in it,” Shaw told the court.
