Florida husband’s cunning trap before shooting dead his estranged wife and wounding their dog two weeks after separating – as his chilling texts emerge


A Florida man who allegedly fatally shot his estranged wife and wounded their dog set a cunning trap to snare her.

Timothy Kramer, 51, was lying in wait inside the couple’s Pensacola home when his wife Rosa, 47, came to collect her belongings, police said.

Authorities believe the gunman deliberately parked his pick up truck in the backyard so it would not be seen before opening fire, the Pensacola News Journal reports.

‘It is reasonable to believe that Timothy Kramer attempted to conceal his vehicle behind the privacy fence in an effort to avoid Rosa Kramer from knowing he was present at the residence,’ a police report by Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said.

Once inside, Kramer allegedly shot Rosa in the head and injured their seven-year-old dog Cody who was rushed to the veterinary hospital, but managed to survive.

He has been charged with first degree murder and aggravated animal abuse. 

‘In the bedroom, I noticed a significant amount of blood on the flooring and surrounding areas, along with smeared blood and what appeared to be bloody footprints leading from the bedroom to the hallway,’ the police report said. 

The couple had been separated for just two weeks when the incident occurred on Tuesday.

The alarm was raised after Rosa could not be reached by phone. Once they arrived at the scene on Hillcrest Drive, deputies discovered her body.

Kramer was picked up by Milton police in Santa Rosa County and was with an unidentified woman.

The woman told police that Kramer said he had shot his wife in self defense.

‘She advised that Timothy Kramer called her at approximately 6 a.m. and confessed that he had shot Rosa Kramer and claimed it was in self-defense,’ the police report said.

‘(Redacted) said she urged Timothy Kramer to contact law enforcement and explain the situation to avoid getting into trouble.’ 

However, police determined that Kramer, ‘provided a fictitious story’ which ‘lead her to believe he was not in any trouble regarding the incident.’

Text messages between the accused and the unidentified woman state, ‘It is all good I did this it is on me.’

A man reportedly told police he was concerned about Rosa being around her ex ever since she left him because ‘he began calling her and threatening to shoot himself if she didn’t come back,’ according to the report.
