Â
The Laredo Police Department arrested 22-years-old RICARDO SEGURA JR. (pictured).
Â
On February 10, 2024, the owner of a property in the 14 block of Candlewood Road reported to the police finding one of her donkeys killed by blunt force.
Â
Four days later, on February 14, 2024, the woman called police to report that her pony had been decapitated.
Â
Officers responded to the aforementioned property and an investigation was launched by Crimes Against Property. Investigators identified SEGURA as the suspect involved in both incidents.
Â
In an interview with KGNS, investigator Joe Baeza with the Laredo Police Department, explained that after executing a search warrant at SEGURA’s home, investigators were able to link certain items that were found at the home as hard evidence to what was found at the scene where the animals were discovered.
Â
Police said there are additional issues and details they can’t discuss because the investigation is ongoing.
Â
On March 11, 2024, SEGURA was arrested and booked into the Webb County Jail on two counts of cruelty to livestock animals. Justice of the Peace Danny Dominguez set a combined bond of $20,000. At time of writing, SEGURA is still in custody.
Â
Police also said they are waiting for certain test results to come in before adding any potential charges.
Â
Authorities did not disclose the names of the deceased Voiceless Victims, so I took the liberty of naming them Stella and Luna (Italian for respectively Star and Moon) for the tribute image. Should their given names be made public, I will rectify them accordingly.
