On April 9, 2024, the Oklahoma City Police Department reached out to the community through social media asking for help finding a male caught on camera “brutally killing” an innocent and defenseless puppy.

 

Police said the incident, that happened on March 27, 2024, in the 3700 block of S. Missouri Avenue, was being investigated by OKC Animal Welfare.

 

The video shows a male carrying a puppy by his/her hind legs before stomping on his/her head.

 

OKC Animal Welfare told News 4 that they received a call in March from a local business owner where the incident took place, after finding a dead puppy.

 

The Oklahoma City Police Department announced that the male caught on camera murdering the puppy, identified as 57-years-old LARRY DON MCMILLIAN (pictured), has been arrested.

MCMILLIAN was arrested in the 1600 block of Southeast 40th Street, after police received “information”.

 

According to a Facebook post by Animal Wellness Action, and Center for a Humane Economy, MCMILLIAN was arrested thanks to his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Looney, who provided the authorities with information that led to MCMILLIAN’s identification. Sarah will receive a $2,000 reward for turning MCMILLIAN in.

 

I have asked OKC Animal Welfare whether the puppy was MCMILLIAN’s and a spokesperson told me they are not sure. Additional information about the Voiceless Victim is not available at this time.

 

The murderer was arrested on charges of Cruelty to Animals and Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon.

At time of writing, records show that the murderer is being held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

 

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Leaf, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

The Columbia City Police Department arrested 42-years-old JULIE ANN HICKS (pictured).

 

According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, on the afternoon of March 8, 2024, Officer Hershberger responded to a home on 1331 E. Louise Drive to investigate a possible animal neglect case.

 

Officer Hershberger reported that “the shades on the windows were all pulled shut” and that he could hear dogs barking. He knocked on the door several times but no one answered.

 

The officer then asked dispatch for a contact number associated with the residence but attempts to contact the property owner were unsuccessful.

 

While Officer Hershberger was still at the home, a neighbor told him that she believed that HICKS had moved out and was living in Fort Wayne.

The neighbor also told Officer Hershberger that someone came to the home once every one to two weeks and believed she last saw someone at the home on March 3, 2024.

 

After speaking with a few more neighbors, Officer Hershberger was able to obtain a phone number for HICKS.

The officer then consulted with Prosecutor John Kitch regarding a request for a search warrant which was granted by Judge Matthew Rentschler.

When Officer Hershberger entered the home, he found large amounts of dog feces throughout the residence. Two dogs were found inside the home a female and a male.

Two large bowls believed to be for dog food were “completely dry.”

 

The dogs are now in the care of the Whitley County Humane Society. I have emailed the organization and requested additional information about the Voiceless Victims. If I get a response, I will post an update.

 

Due to the condition the home was in, Whitley County’s Health Department deemed the property condemned.

 

HICKS was arrested on April 4, 2024, and booked into the Whitley County Jail on two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

Court records show that HICKS will be back at Whitley Superior Court on the morning of Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at 10:20 before Judge Douglas M. Fahl.

~ Update: April 12, 2024

 

I have heard back from City of San Bernardino Animal Services and learned that “Ember’s recovery is coming along, the wounds on her face, ears and feet are healing very well – the wound on her back is taking some time to get better. Ember’s foster caretaker works at the vet’s office, so [Ember] is getting much needed care and support to heal.”

 

As for the other puppy, a male named Coal (pictured), Animal Services said that he “is doing well – he was neutered today and will be ready for adoption as soon as he is released from the investigation hold.”

 

The San Bernardino Police Department is investigating the case.

 

~ Original story:


The City of San Bernardino needs the public’s assistance in finding the evil individual(s) responsible for an egregious act of animal cruelty.

 

In a Facebook post, City of San Bernardino Animal Services said that on April 4, 2024, they were called to a veterinary office on West Highland Avenue after two puppies were found abandoned in its parking lot.

 

Upon arrival, Animal Services Officers found two Labrador retriever mix puppies, approximately 3 months old.

One of the two puppies, a female now named Ember, “had what appeared to be burns” to her face, ears, and body.

 

Both Voiceless Victims were quickly brought back to the San Bernardino Animal Shelter for assessment. The veterinary technicians who examined Ember determined that she had suffered severe injuries that needed to be treated by a veterinarian. So, Ember and the other furvictim were taken to the Shelter’s contract veterinarian.

 

Ember “required immediate hospitalization and treatment due to the severity of her injuries”, said Animal Services. The agency further said that “The burns Ember suffered are severe. Based upon how and where the puppies were found, it is believed this may have been an intentional act of animal cruelty. The vet has determined the injuries and wounds were likely caused by fire.”

 

According to Animal Services, although Ember “is not out of the woods”, she continues to show improvement.

 

The other puppy was cleared by the veterinarian.

 

These two precious souls cannot tell us who is responsible for the monstrosity inflicted upon them. Unlike humans, animals cannot dial 911 and ask for help! Animals rely on witnesses to be rescued and receive justice. So, anyone with information regarding this case is asked to do the right thing and speak up. Please, contact the San Bernardino Animal Services Department at (909) - 384 - 1304 and reference A563955. Thank you!
