FRESNO, Texas — (FRESNO, Texas) -- A man has been arrested after his seven dogs mauled a 71-year-old man to death while he was walking to a local neighborhood store.
The incident occurred on July 18 in Fresno, Texas, when 71-year-old Fresno-native Freddy Garcia was walking to a store in his neighborhood at approximately 1:30 p.m. when the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a witness reporting that the man was being mauled by seven dogs, authorities say.
