A McAllen man is facing charges after allegedly killing his dog with a hammer. Investigators were called to an apartment in the 26-hundred block of Sarah Avenue last week.
Officers were contacted by 36-year-old Daniel Martinez, who said his dog was injured somewhere inside his apartment. The officers entered the apartment and found a small dog lying on its side with a large opening in its stomach.
Investigators believe Martinez injured the dog deliberately, resulting in charges of animal cruelty and tampering with evidence.
