Authorities in Broward are working to identify a suspect believed to be involved in the killing of a stray cat.
The investigation began on Monday after detectives were alerted that a known stray cat was found with bite marks in the 300 block of Northwest 28th Terrace in an unincorporated area of the county near Fort Lauderdale, Broward Sheriff's Office officials said Thursday.
Investigators found surveillance video from the night before that showed a suspect tossing an item at a cat on top of a car and encouraging the cat to jump down, officials said.
The cat jumped down and was chased by two dogs. Hours later, it was found dead.
