Tragic Incident: Two Dogs Shot and Killed on San Antonio’s North Side

In a shocking series of events that unfolded over the weekend, residents of San Antonio are left heartbroken after two beloved dogs were shot and killed in separate incidents. Both tragedies occurred within blocks of each other late on the night of August 10, 2024.

Dramatic Surveillance Footage

Home surveillance cameras caught a disturbing scene when a dark mid-sized SUV slowly cruised past a residence in the 1000 block of West Mariposa. Around midnight, as the vehicle moved cautiously, a passenger inside aimed and fired at a dog on the sidewalk, according to police reports. The vehicle then sped away from the scene.

Details from the Incident

Authorities believe that the shooter was positioned in the front passenger seat while another person was behind the wheel. Unfortunately, the footage did not capture the license plate of the vehicle, leaving investigators with few leads.

Another Victim: Rosey

In a heartbreaking parallel, another dog named Rosey met a similar fate just a few blocks away in the 3200 block of Capitol Avenue. Police suspect that the same culprits are responsible for both senseless acts of animal cruelty.

Community Outcry and Next Steps

The local community is left reeling from these violent acts, prompting calls for justice for the innocent pets. Police are urging anyone with information regarding the shooter or the vehicle involved to come forward and contact the San Antonio Police Department at 210-207-4181.

Potential Charges

Once apprehended, the suspects will face animal cruelty charges, as these incidents have raised significant concerns about the safety and welfare of pets in the area.

As investigations continue, the San Antonio community hopes for answers and justice for the two dogs whose lives ended prematurely in such a tragic manner.
