An attack Friday on an elderly couple in San Antonio by a pair of American Staffordshire Terriers led to the death of an elderly man and critical injury to his wife.
The owner of the dogs, Christian Moreno, was arrested on felony charges of attack by a dangerous dog causing death and injury to an elderly person. Mr. Moreno’s three dogs, the two involved and a third canine were euthanized Friday night.
Witnesses say the dogs broke through the front gate of Mr. Moreno’s residence shortly before the attack. All four victims were transported to a local hospital, where the elderly male victim perished from his injuries and the elderly female victim remains in critical condition. The deceased has been identified as 81-year-old Ramon Najeras, according to WOAI-TV, a San Antonio NBC affiliate.
Friday’s incident was not the first time Mr. Moreno’s dogs had attacked others. At least two of the three dogs were involved in bite cases in September 2021 and January 2023; the victims declined to pursue a dangerous dog designation after these incidents.
