SANTA ANA (CNS) – Authorities were seeking the public’s help Tuesday to solve an ongoing animal cruelty case in Santa Ana, where a local man is suspected of killing several neighborhood cats.
The neighborhood app NextDoor has featured several reports of cats being killed in Santa Ana and Westminster dating back to at least October, with residents posting surveillance photos and videos of a local man they call the “cat killer.”
“The Santa Ana Police Department is aware of a viral animal cruelty case involving cats in the area of Sullivan Street and McFadden Avenue,” the department said Tuesday. “Our detectives are actively investigating these incidents and encourage anyone who may be a victim or witness to contact Police Investigative Specialist S. Guzman at 714-245-8416 or SGuzman@santa-ana.org.”
A reporter from Fox11 spoke to multiple residents who said they’ve been devastated by the loss of their pets. The reporter later went to the Santa Ana home of the man the victims suspect of killing their cats and asked him in English and Spanish if he knew anything about the animals. He said he didn’t know and walked away.
