K9 Payne succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained on November 18th, 2016, when he was shot while on duty in the area of Union Chapel Road and Garden Street.
Payne's handler had let him out of their patrol car for exercise during their shift. It is believed that Payne picked up a scent and began to track it as he ran out of sight of his handler. Several minutes later his handler heard several gunshots. Payne then returned to his handler suffering two gunshot wounds.
It is believed that a homeowner mistook Payne for a dog that was going to attack his dogs.
Payne was taken to a local animal hospital where he remained for several days. He suffered complications after being released and died on November 29th, 2016.
K9 Payne had served as a narcotics detention canine for one year with the Pembroke Police Department.
