The San Antonio Police Department needs the public's assistance to identify an individual suspected of strangling a kitten to death. As per a video posted on the department's Facebook page, the cruel event transpired within the confines of an apartment complex stairwell.
The incident, which occurred around 1:35 p.m. on Sunday, shows the suspect, a man believed to be in his 20s or 30s, wearing a red hoodie, the video which was captured on surveillance cameras at the complex located in the 7400 block of Yarrow Boulevard.
