HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A man faces multiple charges for allegedly killing two dogs and stabbing his ex-girlfriend, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said that on Oct. 20, HCSO deputies responded to a disturbance call in the 300 block of Highlands Cross Drive. When they arrived, deputies found a significant amount of blood leading into an apartment. Inside, two dogs were found dead with apparent gunshot wounds and a butcher knife.
HCSO said that around the same time, they learned of a woman who was at a nearby hospital with multiple stab wounds. Detectives said they connected the two incidents and identified the woman’s ex-boyfriend as the alleged attacker.
The suspect reportedly arrived at the hospital while deputies were still there, and he was arrested.
HCSO said 18-year-old Johan Caballero was charged with aggravated assault-family violence, violation of a protective order, and animal cruelty. He has since been booked into the Harris County jail.
