A Florida man is accused of fatally shooting a neighbor whose cat walked onto his property, authorities said.

"Mr. Bliss was so upset that his neighbor’s cat had wandered over into his yard that he went, retrieved a rifle, leaves his home, goes across the street to the victim’s home" before opening fire on the victim, sheriff's Sgt. Paul Bloom told NBC affiliateNo one answered a phone number listed under the suspect's name Friday night. Two members of the Marion County Public Defenders Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A probable cause affidavit in the case cited a witness who said Bliss tried to find the cat and was followed by Taylor who asked Bliss to leave. At that point, Bliss shot Taylor twice, or"double tapped" the .22 rifle he allegedly used, the witness said in the document.A neighbor who drove by after the shooting saw Taylor on the ground and asked if he was all right."No, I'm dying," he responded, according to the affidavit.

It's proving difficult to find a jury in the trial for Ahmaud Arbery's killing. Potential jurors either know the case well, know the defendants or are scaredFinding jurors to sit in the trial for the three men charged in Ahmaud Arbery's killing is proving difficult. Many said they have already formed strong opinions about the case, know the defendants or are scared to sit. It’s because of over-sensationalizing the case on TV! I believe the news and opinion media caused this problem.
