- Michigan, USA -
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Loren Worthy charged 25-year-old BRANDON LEE DWAYNE LITTKE (pictured) with one count of abandoning two to three animals and one count of animals killing/torturing.
LITTKE is accused of abandoning two helpless kittens at a Detroit gas station.
The incident, which was caught on surveillance cameras, happened on the morning of April 21, 2025, at a gas station in the 24800 block of West 7 Mile Road and Grand River Avenue.
LITTKE is accused of throwing the furvictims out of a moving vehicle and running over one of them, killing the kitten, before fleeing the scene.
The Detroit Police Department launched an investigation and LITTKE was eventually arrested on April 24, 2025.
The surviving kitten, who was rescued by a bystander, is now in the care of Michigan Humane. The organization wrote in a Facebook post: “The surviving cat from Monday’s tragic incident is currently in our care and doing very well. He is not up for adoption at this time. He is being held as part of the investigation and will be in a forever home soon. We are assisting the Detroit Police Department with this ongoing case.”
I took the liberty of naming the deceased kitten Cinnamon for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
