ELIJAH KADEEMALI DOSWELL arrested for causing fatal injuries to his roommate’s dog

- California, USA -

On the early evening of Thursday, March 30, 2023, the Chico Police Department received a call from staff at Valley Oak Veterinary Center to report a possible case of animal cruelty. Staff explained to police that three individuals had brought in a dog who appeared to be deceased.

In a press release by Chico Police and obtained by Voice For Us, police said a veterinary examination confirmed that the dog was dead and that the cause of death was from a fatal blow to his/her carotid artery.

Officers spoke with the individuals who took the dead dog to the clinic and one of them, 19-years-old ELIJAH KADEEMALI DOSWELL (pictured), of Chico, told police he was watching the dog for his roommate at an apartment in the 1100 block of Magnolia Avenue in Chico.

As stated in the press release, at one point DOSWELL “attempted to place the dog in a kennel, located inside the apartment. The dog then retreated to a bedroom and hid under a bed.”

According to police, DOSWELL “used a broom handle to try to remove the dog from under the bed. While doing this, the end of the broom handle lodged in the throat of the dog.”

Police said DOSWELL’s actions led to the fatal injuries to the innocent dog.

Police placed DOSWELL under arrest and booked him into Butte County Jail for animal cruelty and bond was set at $15,000.

Online records show DOSWELL was released after posting bond!

Police said: “The Chico Police Department takes allegations of animal cruelty very seriously. We understand that the animals in our community are often more than just pets and deserve to be protected.”

Let’s see how the judge and prosecutors in this case will give justice to the precious life that was taken away! That life mattered!!!!

JONATHAN ALBERTO BENITEZ allowed his puppy to die after being caged in the sun without food or water

- Florida, USA -

“I am disgusted by people who abuse those that are defenseless.” That is how Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno began a press conference regarding the SENSELESS and PREVENTABLE death of an innocent dog.

Sheriff Marceno said that on the morning of Tuesday, March 28, 2023, his deputies were called to a home on Bryan Avenue North in Lehigh Acres about a dog in distress.

A disabled resident in a wheelchair saw the dog but was unable to physically help, so they alerted the sheriff’s office.

Upon arrival, deputies found a 7-month-old 60 lbs. English Bulldog mix named Oreo.

Oreo was in the backyard in a tiny cage that prevented him from moving, turning around, or lying down. The voiceless victim “was forced to stand the entire time,” said the sheriff.

According to Sheriff Marceno, Oreo was left alone in the cage for six long hours in direct sunlight without food or water. “His cries for help were unanswered and Oreo tried to chew his way out of a metal cage. Oreo was found dead with his teeth still biting the cage still trying to chew out,” recounted sheriff Marceno.

Lee County Domestic Animal Services used an infrared thermometer to record the area around Oreo which was 127 degrees. Oreo’s internal temperature was too high to read on the thermometer. “He fought until his last breath. A gut-wrenching view of torture and a cruel death for a helpless animal”, added the sheriff.

31-years-old JONATHAN ALBERTO BENITEZ (pictured), arrived at the scene and told deputies he put Oreo inside the cage in the backyard because “he didn’t want the dog to tear things up.”

I wonder if BENITEZ’s mother put him in a tiny cage in the backyard as a child because she did not want her son to “tear things up”!

BENITEZ was arrested for aggravated animal cruelty. Sheriff Marceno said that he and State Attorney Amira Fox feel the same about animals and they will work together to see that BENITEZ gets the fullest extent of the law. Meanwhile, BENITEZ, society’s vomit, is out free. He was released the day after his arrest.

Online records show that he is scheduled to appear in Lee County Circuit Court on May 1, 2023, at 8:30 a.m.

Sheriff Marceno said the case remains active and Oreo’s remains will be sent to the ASPCA for a necropsy.
