Dog Fight Turns Deadly: Man Shot and Killed in Hall County Park
HALL COUNTY, Ga. – A Sunday afternoon dog walk turned tragic in Simpson Park when a dispute between dog owners escalated to a fatal shooting. Terry Loden, a Hall County resident, was shot and killed after an encounter with another man whose dog allegedly provoked Loden’s pet.
According to Loden’s wife, Cheryle, the couple was walking their dogs around 3:30 p.m. when their dog, Jesse, interacted with another dog. Cheryle stated that Terry was pulling Jesse back when the other dog owner, identified as 52-year-old Todd Stalcup, shot Jesse and then subsequently shot Terry after he exclaimed to Stalcup, “Man what are you doing?”
“He was on top of her pulling her off and about that time, the man just shot my dog, and Terry stood up and said, ‘Man what are you doing?’ And he just shot him,” said Cheryle.
Cheryle Loden recounted the horrific event, stating that Stalcup remained at the scene initially, pacing, but then drove off. “The other man walked toward his car he drove off,” she said. Law enforcement apprehended Stalcup as he was leaving the park.
Tragically, Loden died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Cheryle described Terry’s last words to her: “He just looked up at me and said, ‘I love you.’ He said, ‘I’m going.'”
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office has charged Stalcup with murder. He appeared in court Monday afternoon and is being held without bond.
The Loden family is devastated by what they call a “senseless and unprovoked” act of violence. Cheryle Loden described her husband as a generous and loving man, “He’d give his last penny and do anything for anybody. He was an awesome person.”
The family has stated that Terry Loden was a private person and will not be holding a funeral service. They hope that Stalcup is punished to the “fullest extent of the law.”
