In a heartbreaking sequence of events, *San Antonio* police have reported that a man accused of shooting and killing two dogs has died by suicide. The deceased, identified as Jesse Cohn, aged 44, reportedly shot himself shortly after police arrived to execute a search warrant related to the dog killings.
The shooting incidents involving the two dogs occurred on August 10, in close proximity on West Mariposa Drive. Local residents were shocked by the violence directed at the pets, which sparked immediate concern and outrage in the community.
On August 14, authorities approached Cohn’s residence on Wakefield Drive, equipped with a search warrant. As officers announced their presence, they heard a gunshot come from inside the home. Following standard protocol, the Special Operations Unit was called in, and plans were made for entry.
Upon entering the residence, police discovered Cohn with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition, but sadly, he passed away later.
Detectives from SAPD reported that Cohn had a history of animal cruelty allegations besides the shooting incidents. Witnesses claimed to have seen him attempting to strike dogs with his vehicle and setting food out as a bait.
The shocking incident has left the *San Antonio* community reeling. Neighbors had previously described Cohn as an animal lover, which has added to the confusion and sorrow surrounding the case.
