California Police Arrest Suspected Serial Cat Killer

Alejandro Acosta Oliveros, 45, was arrested in Santa Ana, California, after police linked him to a series of cat abductions and killings in Orange County. Investigators found evidence of animal cruelty at his home, and multiple witnesses and surveillance footage tied him to numerous incidents of luring and harming neighborhood cats. Residents had reported cats missing for weeks, with some social media posts describing cats being injected with substances and killed. While the exact number of cats harmed or killed remains unclear, authorities believe the total is significant, with some reports suggesting more than a dozen victims. Oliveros has reportedly confessed to the acts, and police are continuing to investigate the full extent of the case. Charges related to animal cruelty are expected to be filed soon.
