ROGELIO DIAZ, suspected serial animal abuser, arrested for torturing and killing a cat

- California, USA -

 

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrested 27-years-old ROGELIO DIAZ (pictured).

 

According to the Department’s media release, on the afternoon of Friday, April 5, 2024, DIAZ was walking near the 4900 block of Marine Avenue in Lawndale when he saw a cat on the driveway of a home and grabbed the furbaby. DIAZ then repeatedly struck the cat until she was dead.

 

CBS News identified the cat as a female named Mimi.

 

The murderer was located and taken into custody on April 11, 2024. He was charged with torturing/killing a live animal. CBS News reports that when DIAZ was arrested, he had cat food on him.

 

As stated in the media release, “Based on the nature of the offense and additional evidence, detectives believe there may be additional victims.”

 

In fact, according to an article published by CBS News on April 16, 2024, investigators believe that on April 3, 2024, DIAZ also killed a 16-year-old Chihuahua named Chiquita.

CBS News reports that surveillance footage shows the moments that DIAZ “brutally kicks the dog name Chiquita into the street outside of her owner's home.”

 

“He then stops riding his bike, puts on gloves and moves the dog onto the sidewalk where he repeatedly ran her over.”

 

I have emailed the Los Angeles County DA’s Office to inquire about DIAZ’s arraignment that was scheduled for April 15, 2024. If I get a response, I will post an update.

 

Anyone with information about DIAZ or this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (323) - 820 - 6700 or (323) - 820 - 6761. Thank you!

 

The investigation into DIAZ is ongoing.

LARRY DON MCMILLIAN arrested after he was caught on camera killing a puppy

- Oklahoma, USA -

 

On April 9, 2024, the Oklahoma City Police Department reached out to the community through social media asking for help finding a male caught on camera “brutally killing” an innocent and defenseless puppy.

 

Police said the incident, that happened on March 27, 2024, in the 3700 block of S. Missouri Avenue, was being investigated by OKC Animal Welfare.

 

The video shows a male carrying a puppy by his/her hind legs before stomping on his/her head.

 

OKC Animal Welfare told News 4 that they received a call in March from a local business owner where the incident took place, after finding a dead puppy.

 

The Oklahoma City Police Department announced that the male caught on camera murdering the puppy, identified as 57-years-old LARRY DON MCMILLIAN (pictured), has been arrested.

MCMILLIAN was arrested in the 1600 block of Southeast 40th Street, after police received “information”.

 

According to a Facebook post by Animal Wellness Action, and Center for a Humane Economy, MCMILLIAN was arrested thanks to his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Looney, who provided the authorities with information that led to MCMILLIAN’s identification. Sarah will receive a $2,000 reward for turning MCMILLIAN in.

 

I have asked OKC Animal Welfare whether the puppy was MCMILLIAN’s and a spokesperson told me they are not sure. Additional information about the Voiceless Victim is not available at this time.

 

The murderer was arrested on charges of Cruelty to Animals and Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon.

At time of writing, records show that the murderer is being held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

 

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Leaf, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

JULIE ANN HICKS arrested for abandoning two dogs at a condemned residence

- Indiana, USA -

 

The Columbia City Police Department arrested 42-years-old JULIE ANN HICKS (pictured).

 

According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, on the afternoon of March 8, 2024, Officer Hershberger responded to a home on 1331 E. Louise Drive to investigate a possible animal neglect case.

 

Officer Hershberger reported that “the shades on the windows were all pulled shut” and that he could hear dogs barking. He knocked on the door several times but no one answered.

 

The officer then asked dispatch for a contact number associated with the residence but attempts to contact the property owner were unsuccessful.

 

While Officer Hershberger was still at the home, a neighbor told him that she believed that HICKS had moved out and was living in Fort Wayne.

The neighbor also told Officer Hershberger that someone came to the home once every one to two weeks and believed she last saw someone at the home on March 3, 2024.

 

After speaking with a few more neighbors, Officer Hershberger was able to obtain a phone number for HICKS.

The officer then consulted with Prosecutor John Kitch regarding a request for a search warrant which was granted by Judge Matthew Rentschler.

When Officer Hershberger entered the home, he found large amounts of dog feces throughout the residence. Two dogs were found inside the home a female and a male.

Two large bowls believed to be for dog food were “completely dry.”

 

The dogs are now in the care of the Whitley County Humane Society. I have emailed the organization and requested additional information about the Voiceless Victims. If I get a response, I will post an update.

 

Due to the condition the home was in, Whitley County’s Health Department deemed the property condemned.

 

HICKS was arrested on April 4, 2024, and booked into the Whitley County Jail on two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

Court records show that HICKS will be back at Whitley Superior Court on the morning of Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at 10:20 before Judge Douglas M. Fahl.
