Mexico Asks US to Help Catch Man Who Stabbed Dog Caught on Camera

ID #19-19

Mexican authorities are asking their United States counterparts for help capturing a man who fled across the border after he allegedly savagely killed a dog.

Gerardo Humberto Herrera Escobedo is wanted for allegedly stabbing a dog to death while an acquaintance recorded him earlier this month in Suterm de Piedras Negras, a town in the northern state of Coahuila.

An official with the Public Ministry in Suterm de Piedras Negras told Mexican media outlets this week that Herrera Escobedo crossed the border into San Antonio, Texas, with family members.

The suspected animal killer appears in the alarming cell phone video petting a dog while looking at his defenseless target who is a few feet in front of him.

Herrera Escobedo then places his left hand over the pooch and drives a sharp object into it.

Images show the dog shaking and crying while Herrera Escobedo takes a seat in what appears to be a local business.

‘It died,’ Herrera Escobedo says in calm voice over the loud music as he looks directly into the cell phone camera.

The frightening video made its rounds through social media January 6, and Herrera Escobedo was quick to shut down his Facebook page once local residents pointed him out at the dog’s killer.

Santiago de Jesús Espinoza Eguia, the Public Ministry’s coordinator, said they have identified a couple of other individuals who were present at the time of the brutal killing.

The Attorney General’s office in Coahuila said Herrera Escobedo had not shown up for his temporary employment assignment with the Federal Electricity Commission since the animal cruelty incident, La Rancherita del Aire reported.

Residents tried applying their own measures of justice and vandalized Herrera Escobedo’s home.

Gerardo Agustín Herrera Cruz says his neighbors issued death threats after a video of the dog killing surfaced. He told police that it was his half-brother who stabbed the dog

Neighbors bombarded his half brother, Gerardo Agustín Herrera Cruz, 30, with death threats, after they thought he was the one who appeared in the video.

Herrera Cruz came forward a day after the video was published and confirmed to the local police that his sibling was the person behind the crime.

‘I am being blamed for something I didn’t do,’ Herrera Cruz recently told Milenio TV.

‘You can compare the photos and the video of the moment. It’s not me.’
