A man accused of stomping a kitten to death has turned himself into Primera police custody Thursday morning.

Gustavo De La Garza, 22, is facing charges of cruelty to a non-livestock animal.

Primera police received a report of animal cruelty at the Oasis mobile home park on July 7.

They said a woman saw a shadow walk across her bedroom window. When the woman looked out her window, she saw De La Garza stomping on the kitten.

Police said when the owner of the kitten went outside, De La Garza had fled the area and the kitten was dead.

De La Garza is currently in Cameron County jail.
