15-year-old Tania Villalobos, Nico’s owner, can barely contain her tears as she recounts the horror of finding both her dogs foaming from their mouths and struggling for balance. The dogs were given emergency treatment at the vet’s, but Nico did not survive the poisoning.
Initial investigations have revealed that the 42-year-old Jeremiah is unemployed and has 3 prior felony convictions. The entire neighborhood is in a state of panic as they believe that their pets and kids are not safe with such a malicious man in their midst.
