- Oklahoma, USA -
On April 9, 2024, the Oklahoma City Police Department reached out to the community through social media asking for help finding a male caught on camera “brutally killing” an innocent and defenseless puppy.
Police said the incident, that happened on March 27, 2024, in the 3700 block of S. Missouri Avenue, was being investigated by OKC Animal Welfare.
The video shows a male carrying a puppy by his/her hind legs before stomping on his/her head.
OKC Animal Welfare told News 4 that they received a call in March from a local business owner where the incident took place, after finding a dead puppy.
The Oklahoma City Police Department announced that the male caught on camera murdering the puppy, identified as 57-years-old LARRY DON MCMILLIAN (pictured), has been arrested.
MCMILLIAN was arrested in the 1600 block of Southeast 40th Street, after police received “information”.
According to a Facebook post by Animal Wellness Action, and Center for a Humane Economy, MCMILLIAN was arrested thanks to his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Looney, who provided the authorities with information that led to MCMILLIAN’s identification. Sarah will receive a $2,000 reward for turning MCMILLIAN in.
I have asked OKC Animal Welfare whether the puppy was MCMILLIAN’s and a spokesperson told me they are not sure. Additional information about the Voiceless Victim is not available at this time.
The murderer was arrested on charges of Cruelty to Animals and Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon.
At time of writing, records show that the murderer is being held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center.
I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Leaf, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
