A man accused of shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend’s puppy during an argument earlier this month in downtown Los Angeles was arrested on Monday, Jan. 15, authorities said.
The 32-year-old was taken into custody about 12:10 a.m. and held on $50,000 bail, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court, the suspect allegedly held a pillow over his ex-girlfriend’s dog and shot a firearm twice into the pillow on Jan. 2 at the victim’s apartment.
Shortly after being shot, the puppy was transported to an animal hospital and died. Law enforcement recovered two spent 9mm-caliber shell casings from the crime scene, the complaint says.
Police have described him as homeless.
He has an extensive criminal history, according to the complaint, including multiple felony convictions prohibiting him from possessing firearms and ammunition.
