Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest of two men who killed a dog named Princess.
Oakland police say the attack appeared to be random. The dog's owner said she was walking in a lobby of an Oakland apartment complex when two men pushed past her and picked up the dog. The owner, Lea Dunn, said she struggled to get the dog away from the men. Dunn said one of the men had a gun. She said the two men walked out of the complex holding the dog.
Dunn, along with her boyfriend, said they followed the men down the street. She said the men were about a block ahead of her when they suddenly put the dog on the ground. By the time Dunn could get to Princess, the dog was dead. She thinks they strangled the dog.
Princess was a 2.9-pound Yorkshire terrier. Oakland police called the crime a brutal and senseless act.
Oakland police tell NBC11.com that they have received several calls on the case. You have any information, you are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at (510) 238-6946.
