- Virginia, USA -
The Prince William County Police Department announced the arrest of 18-years-old FREDERICK GRANT PIERCE (pictured) for murdering a defenseless kitten.
In a press release, Master Officer Renee Carr said that on the early evening of Friday, May 26, 2023, officers responded to The Stone Point Apartments in the 14900 block of Potomac Heights Place in Woodbridge to investigate a domestic dispute.
Officers learned that the guardian of a 3-month-old Siamese and Maine Coon kitten had left her furbaby in apartment with a family member, later identified as PIERCE.
When the kitten’s guardian returned, she found the kitten “unresponsive in the bedroom.”
Master Officer Renee Carr tells me that the Voiceless Victim was a male named Misty.
From the investigation it emerged that PIERCE had kicked Misty in his tiny head multiple times.
Animal Control Officers responded to the scene to take possession of Misty for further examination to determine the cause of death.
The completion of the investigation then led to PIERCE’s arrest.
PIERCE, of the 14900 block of Potomac Heights Place in Woodbridge, was charged with felony animal cruelty.
Online court records show that the murderer was released on his own recognizance and will be arraigned at Prince William General District Court on June 13, 2023, at 11:00 a.m.
