The Santa Ana Police Department announced the arrest of 45-year-old ALEJANDRO ACOSTA OLIVEROS (pictured), in connection with a serial cat killer investigation.


According to the police press release provided to Voice For Us, over the several weeks, the department received multiple disturbing reports regarding the suspected abuse and killing of cats in a local neighborhood.

“The reports alleged that a man had been luring neighborhood cats to and around his property, where he then harmed or killed them”, stated the release.


A Police Investigative Specialist (PIS) immediately assumed the investigation of the case during which ACOSTA OLIVEROS was “positively identified by several victims and witnesses as the suspect responsible for acts of animal cruelty”, said police.


The evidence gathered during the investigation resulted in the execution of a search warrant at ACOSTA OLIVEROS’ home in the 2300 block of W. Wilshire Avenue on April 23, 2025.

The search warrant was executed in collaboration with the Animal Control Division of the Santa Ana Police Department and the Westminster Police Department.

Police said the search led to the discovery and confiscation of evidence found at the home related to the case.


ACOSTA OLIVEROS was taken into custody and booked at the Santa Ana Jail on felony animal cruelty charges.


Officials couldn’t provide the exact number of cats ACOSTA OLIVEROS is believed to have harmed, but it is over a dozen.


Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact PIS S. Guzman at (714) - 245 - 8416 or SGuzman@santa-ana.org. Thank you!
