The dogs killed Ramon Najera Jr., 81, and injured his wife. They were visiting a friend on San Antonio’s West Side when the dogs attacked without provocation.
A couple whose pit bulls killed an elderly Air Force veteran in an unprovoked attack on San Antonio ’s West Side last year have reached a plea deal to avoid going to trial. Christian Alexander Moreno and his wife, Abilene Schnieder , both 32, pleaded guilty Tuesday to one of the two charges against them: dangerous dog attack causing death, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000.
Grisly new details emerge in deadly dog attack on Air Force veteran Their pit bulls escaped from their fenced yard in the 2800 block of Depla Street near Cupples Road around 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 24, 2023. Two of the dogs seized on Air Force veteran Ramon Najera Jr., 81, when he stepped out of his car to help his wife after the animals attacked her. The dogs killed Najera; his wife was injured but survived.
‘I just want my legs back’ — For man mauled by dogs, life will never be the same 'Help him! Oh my gosh! ' Najera and his wife, who was 74 at the time of the attack, lived in Leon Valley. They had driven to the West Side neighborhood to visit the home of a friend who lived next door to Moreno and Schnieder. The Najeras' friend is a seamstress, and they wanted to drop off a pair of trousers for her to hem. The dogs attacked Janie Najera while she was on her friend’s property.
Dog tore open man’s neck, exposing trachea The video showed the dog ripping a dialysis shunt from Najera’s body before he collapsed face-down and lost consciousness. Another dog stood nearby with its face and neck covered in blood while barking ferociously at witnesses who tried to intervene. One neighbor tried to scare off the dogs with a garden hose. Another tried to end the mauling with a rake. A third drove up and sounded her car horn to frighten the dogs, to no avail.
