HOUSTON – Police and Crime Stoppers are asking for the public’s help locating a man accused of animal cruelty. Daniel Caballero is suspected of either assaulting a dog or forcing it to participate in fights.

On April 23, 2011, HPD officers responded to a report of an injured dog at a home in the 200 block of Burress. The dog – a pit bull that belonged to Caballero – had a severe injury to one of its eyes. Police told Caballero to seek immediate medical attention for the dog. But two days later, when officers returned to check on the animal, they said it was tethered outside of the home, without food or water.

Police determined that Caballero hadn’t sought medical attention for the dog, so they seized it. A seizure hearing was held, but Caballero didn’t attend.A warrant for animal cruelty was issued for Caballero, but he remained at large Friday.

He is 20 years old, stands 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. His last known address was near the 200 block of Burress in Houston. Anyone with information about the location of the suspect is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at (713) 222-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted online at crime-stoppers.org or via text message – just text "TIP610" plus your info to 274637.

All tipsters will remain anonymous.
