Roy Curtis Marcum,  43,  a 14-year Sacramento County Animal Care & Regulation Department office,  was fatally shot through a closed front door on November 28,  2012 as he approached a house occupied by Joseph Francis Corey,  65,  to take custody of six Catahoula dogs.  Marcum,  who was unarmed,  was accompanied by two locksmiths,  who suffered superficial injuries.  Corey had been evicted the day before,  but was believed to have left the Catahoulas,  who are pit bull variants,  in the second floor house and ground level garage.  A 16-hour standoff followed the shooting, during which SWAT team members were able to slip into the garage and hide until  Corey descended a stairway into the garage to check on one of the dogs circa 5 a.m. on November 29.  Corey was then captured and charged with homicide.
