| | 5/28/2013 - Tampa Police Seek Public`s Help in Animal Cruelty Case | |
DATE/TIME: 5/27/2013 at
7:29 a.m.
LOCATION: Plymouth Park, 3100 North Oakdale
Avenue
VICTIM: "Lion" Gray Tabby short haired domestic, approximately 5
years old.
VICTIM (OWNER): Hector Cartagena, H/M, DOB: 12/8/1962, 3000
North Ola Avenue, Tampa
DETAILS:
A citizen was walking his dog
Monday morning
when he discovered the partial remains of a mutilated cat inside the Plymouth
Park. He realized the body belonged to his neighbor`s cat named "Lion" and
immediately notified police. The partial remains consisted of only the front
half of the cat, which showed no signs of decomposition. Tampa Police officers
arrived on scene and determined Lion was killed at another location and recently
dumped in the park. They conducted a neighborhood survey and combed the park,
however they were unable to generate leads that would identify Lion`s
attacker(s). Hillsborough County Animal Services collected the remains and
conducted a preliminary veterinary examination. The exam results suggests that
the cat was either stabbed or shot prior to being cut in half with a very sharp
object.
This
morning, May 28, 2013,
one of the Park and Recreations employees who assisted officers the day before
discovered Lion`s hind legs near the park`s basketball court. The two legs
showed no signs of decomposition. It is believed that the legs were placed in
the park before 9:20 a.m. today.
Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay is offering
a reward of up to $1,000 for
