Eastern Hognosed Snake (Heterodon platirhinos). Completely harmless and inoffensive snake.

Pity it was killed.

You don't say exactly where you are - for reptiles and amphibians, the locality tells which subspecies, but it is a baby Rat Snake. Rat Snake, WIkipedia Where you are is important to know what it will look like when it is grown. Totally harmless BTW, and can be picked up and played with.

Not sure where you are located but just generalizing, the head is the wrong shape to be one of the venomous North American snakes. The exception to the triangular shaped head would be the coral snake and it certainly isn’t one of those. Just leave it be and let it go about its business of eating vermin.
