San Francisco Suspect At-Large After Slamming Puppy: Video

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Police this week released video of a man seen slamming a puppy at a store in San Francisco. The incident happened at 11:42 a.m. at a Turk Street store last Saturday, police said.

Officers were called to the store after a man and woman were seen having an argument. The man, identified as 23-year-old Delos Pierre Gallon, was seen throwing canned goods at the woman before grabbing her four-month-old Cocker Spaniel puppy and forcefully slammed the puppy onto the floor of the store, police said.

Officers later located the woman and her puppy, named Prince, near Turk Street and Taylor Street. The officers transported the victim and puppy to San Francisco Animal Care and Control for treatment, but Prince did not survive his injuries.
