- Minnesota, USA -
The Minneapolis Police Department arrested 36-years-old MICHAEL ISAAC KLINGER (pictured) for shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend’s dog on the morning of Wednesday, July 27, 2022.
Reportedly, the ex-girlfriend was walking her dog near West 34th Street and Nicollet Avenue when KLINGER “suddenly appeared”, she told police. KLINGER said he wanted to talk to her but at that point he pulled out a gun and fatally shot the furbaby.
The woman said KLINGER had: “warned her that he would take the best thing she loves.”
After shooting the dog, KLINGER got into a silver sedan that was driven by another person and took off.
A neighbor found the ex-girlfriend understandably distraught and crumpled on the sidewalk next to her furbaby.
Online court records show that animal cruelty charges against KLINGER were filed on Wednesday, August 3.
Four days after murdering the innocent dog, KLINGER murdered a 34-year-old woman named Katie Fredrickson (not the dog’s guardian). Police learned from witnesses that KLINGER had been in a relationship with Katie on and off.
Police said that while KLINGER was in custody for Fredrickson’s murder, detectives questioned him about the dog he had shot and killed but “he refused to be questioned.”
KLINGER is being held at the Hennepin County Jail.
For the animal cruelty charge, he is due in court on August 31, 2022, at 2:00 p.m.

If proof was ever needed for the escalation from animal cruelty to humans then Michael Klinger is the poster male for this horrible story. Animal cruelty/abuse etc must be become a felony across all fifty states! I hope that Klinger receives life in prison w/o the possibility of parole. He is a disgusting POS!
