(February 28, 2023) Christian Alexander Moreno has been charged with criminal negligence after his pit bulls mauled an 81-year-old man to death. According to San Antonio Express-News, first responders, including firefighters, responded to the call around 2 p.m. on February 24, 2023, and found the man being dragged across the street by the dogs. They rescued him and his wife, who was also mauled, and transported them to the hospital, where the man later passed away. One of the relatives the couple was visiting and a firefighter captain were also treated for injuries sustained during the rescue, but they were later released along with the man’s 74-year-old widow. Unfortunately, this is not the first time those dogs have been involved in an animal attack, and the owner did not take the proper steps to secure the animals in spite of this.
