Georgia officials are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who dragged two dogs tied to the back of a car, killing one of them.
Surveillance footage captured the suspect who dragged the two animals along a roadway in Redan, just east of Atlanta, at around 8 p.m. on Sept. 13, the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday.
The driver then got out of his car, untied the dogs from the bumper and left them for dead, prosecutors said.
Video caught the man pulling into the parking lot of the Redan Recreational Center. The man seemingly backed out of the parking to prevent his license plate number from being captured.
Other dog treated for severe injuries
A witness later notified police about the dogs and a DeKalb County Animal Enforcement officer later found both with a rope tied around their necks, according to prosecutors.
A male medium-sized black dog, between 1 and 7 years old, was found dead at the scene.
The other dog, a male medium-sized brindle around 9 months old, was treated for severe injuries and is currently being cared for by DeKalb County Animal Services.
Suspect drove a 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu
The suspect’s car was a dark, four-door sedan that investigators believe is a 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Anyone with information regarding the animal abuse is encouraged to call the DeKalb County Animal Enforcement tip line at 404-294-2939.
