Fugitive suspected of throwing cat to death in Colorado Springs, officials say

Authorities are looking for a man suspected of tossing a house cat three stories to its death in Colorado Springs in September.

Witnesses say they saw Shane Carty throw a short-haired cat, named Zayn, from the third-floor balcony of an apartment building on East Pikes Peak Avenue, according to a news release. The animal died of its injuries. Carty was not the pet’s owner.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts could receive a cash reward, officials said.
