JEANETTE OLIVO arrested for stabbing a Chihuahua while he was out on a walk with his young guardian

- Illinois, USA -


A sweet and innocent Chihuahua is safe and is recovering after being stabbed multiple times by a stranger, while being walked by his teenage mom.


The incident happened on the evening of Monday, December 26, 2022, while the 12-year-old furbaby named Bebe, was out on a walk with his 15-year-old mom in the 6600 block of West Irving Park Road in the Dunning neighborhood on the Northwest Side.


A building's security cameras captured the vicious attack and the distressing footage showed 61-years-old JEANETTE OLIVO (pictured), approaching Bebe and the teenage girl, and stabbing Bebe for no reason whatsoever.


When the girl ran away, OLIVO chased her with the knife, and stabbed Bebe several more times. OLIVO then ran off and dropped the knife about a block away. The girl’s father, Sergio Macias, caught OLIVO and held her until police arrived.


Authorities took OLIVO into custody and charged her with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to an animal and one felony count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.


The amazing nonprofit Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation stepped in and thanks to the generous donations received, more than $9,000 raised in just two days, Bebe underwent a life-saving surgery which allowed him to leave the hospital on Wednesday and be back home with his loving family.

Ms. Ana Gabriela Jasso, the teenager’s mom, said: “He's doing great. He's eating good. He was even barking with the other dogs, so that's a good sign to them.”


Part of a Facebook post by Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation read: “WE DID IT TOGETHER - WE SAVED BEBE! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for your encouraging words, prayers, and overwhelming generosity 💙”


The nonprofit also expressed gratitude to Premier Veterinary Group of Chicago which “helped by reducing our bill as well - thank you caring people 🙏🏼”


During her first court appearance on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, OLIVO’s bond was set at $25,000. Online records show she is still in custody and should she be able to post bond, she has been ordered not to live with or own any animals.

OLIVO is due back in Skokie Courthouse on the morning of Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

SEBASTIAN A. TRUJILLO accused of murdering one of his Husky dogs

- Illinois, USA -


The Joliet Police Department arrested 22-years-old SEBASTIAN A. TRUJILLO (pictured), in connection with the death of his dog, a female Husky named Jillo.


The incident happened on Monday, October 24, 2022, at TRUJILLO’s apartment in the 100 block of Clement Street.

Police were called in relation to a disturbance involving a man yelling and a dog in extreme distress.


Responding officers discovered Jillo in the apartment bathroom, lifeless. According to a press release obtained by Voice For Us, TRUJILLO “had used a thin leash with a noose-like collar to drag the dog across the floor of the apartment to place her in a cage at which time the dog’s body fell limp and she passed away.”


At the apartment officers located another Husky who was alive and was placed in the care of Joliet Township Animal Control.


The filthy murderer was taken to the Will County Jail.

According to court records, TRUJILLO was charged with one count of aggravated cruelty to animals and two counts of cruelty to animals. A bail hearing took place the following day at the Will County Courthouse and TRUJILLO was released!

Will County Judge Fred Harvey granted the Will County State's Attorney's Office request for a $25,000 bail against the murderer.

Judge Harvey ordered TRUJILLO to surrender all of his guns and prohibited him from having any animals as part of the bail conditions.


TRUJILLO’s private defense attorney, Neil Patel, told Joliet Patch's editor about his client: “I just know he's really distraught. He was crying when he was in court when the State (prosecutors) was going through the factual allegations.”


Online court records show that the murderer is scheduled to be back in court on December 9, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. for his preliminary hearing.

JOSE ORLANDO CARTAGENA arrested after being caught on video throwing and punching his dog

Updated: Oct 13, 2022

- Illinois, USA -



~ Update: October 12, 2022


In regard to my email to Chicago police requesting the dog’s gender, breed, age, and name, Chicago police responded in an email: “Unfortunately, we do not know the dog's gender, age, breed, or name. Only that the dog was euthanized and the offender has been charged with animal cruelty. If further information becomes available and we are able to share it we will definitely be in touch with you.”



~ Update, October 11, 2022


I heard back from the Chicago Police Department.

It breaks my heart to tell you that the furbaby was euthanized.

“When the dog was brought into the emergency vet it was suffering from lung cancer and was euthanized. The dog was not euthanized due to injury from the incident but due to the lung cancer. The offender was charged with 2 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.”



~ Update: October 11, 2022


Yesterday, before publishing this article I have emailed the Chicago Police Department’s PIO and First Deputy Superintendent of Police Eric Carter to inquire about the VOICELESS VICTIM’s well-being.

Right now, I have also emailed Chicago Police Department Superintendent David O’Neil Brown and asked whether the dog was removed from CARTAGENA.

If I receive a response, I will post an update.




~ Original story:


Thanks to the intervention of multiple citizens, a dog is now safe and his/her abuser is behind bars.


On October 8, 2022, Ms. Paula Conrad, a Lincoln Park resident, wrote on her Facebook account: “A block away from where I live, a man beat his dog in broad daylight. Chicago, please keep your eyes peeled for this van — call 311 and ask for Area 3 detectives if you spot it. Let’s get this pup into a nice home and this scumbag behind bars!”


The incident took place on the afternoon of Thursday, September 22, 2022, in the 1900 block of North Maud Avenue.


Surveillance video from a nearby building shows a man exiting a van, opening the trunk, grabbing a dog by the neck and dragging him/her out of the vehicle.

Once the furbaby is out of the van, the male can be seen hurling and throwing the dog to the street. The dog then can be seen crossing the street and going on to the sidewalk on the other side. Meanwhile, the male is captured throwing a punch at the vehicle and getting things out of the trunk that he carelessly left on the sidewalk. After a few minutes, the male goes to the other sidewalk where the dog went but they both are off camera.


Footage then shows the male and the dog returning to the vehicle.

While the male goes back and forth, the furbaby follows him and his/her tail never stops waggling. All of a sudden, the male starts punching the dog, pulls the dog by the collar and temporarily stops when a woman exits a building with a dog.

In the video it appears that the male then looks up and talks to someone.


Ms. Conrad released the distressing video and over this past weekend, a motorist spotted the suspected van in traffic and posted a photo of its plate onto social media.


According to CWBChicago, on the morning of Sunday, October 9, 2022, a woman who was at a veterinary appointment at MedVet, 3305 North California, saw the male suspect from the video in the lobby and Chicago police responded to the scene.


Officers arrested 28-years-old JOSE ORLANDO CARTAGENA, of Hammond, Indiana, and charged him with one count of misdemeanor cruelty to animals.


Reportedly, the dog was at the vet’s office with significant injuries.


As CWBChicago reported, CARTAGENA’s booking photograph is not yet available because the Chicago Police Department embargoes misdemeanor mugshots for four days before releasing them to the public.
