Lakewood Police are searching for a man and woman who are suspected of shooting and killing a dog.

According to a release from the department, police responded to calls of shots fired near the intersection of 12th and Teller on August 1. When officers arrived to the scene, they found a female pit bull mix who died of apparent gunshot wounds.

She had no tags and was not microchipped, according to Lakewood Police Department's Public Information Officer John Romero. 

Witnesses at the scene told police they saw a man and woman who appeared to be arguing when they exited a silver Chrysler 300 near the intersection.
