A 23-year-old Indiana man has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting a female postal walker with a single gunshot to the chest after she stopped delivering mail to his house due to his vicious dog.
Tony Cushingberry-Mays was charged with second-degree murder, assaulting a federal employee, and discharging a firearm in the death of Angela Summers, 45.
Summers, a mother of a young son, and beloved postal worker at the USPS Linwood Indianapolis Post Office, died at hospital.
According to federal law, killing an off-duty federal employee can be punishable by death or a life sentence, the Daily Beast reported.
Two weeks before the tragedy, Cushingberry-Mays mail delivery was halted due to numerous complaints Summers had reported regarding 'several issues,' she had with the suspects dog.
After three warning letters were sent to the suspect's home informing him to contain the dogs and went ignored, the post office put a suspension in place.
