Protecting Those Without A Voice The APD Animal Cruelty Unit stands to investigate, pursuit offenders, and fight for those who cannot speak for themselves. And for those who hurt animals, we have no problem putting your actions on full display. On August 31, 2026, APD officers responded to 13625 Coomer Path regarding two dogs living inside an extremely hot and unsanitary garage without adequate access to food or water. One dog was found deceased and severely underweight, while the other dog was found underweight and chained in an area with accumulated feces and urine. The deceased dog died from heat exposure, potentially compounded by dehydration and poor body condition. A third dog was also on the property. The two living dogs (“Smart” and “Jane”) were immediately provided with food and water and taken to Austin Animal Services (AAS) for evaluations. They were recently adopted and are making full recoveries. The APD Animal Cruelty Unit conducted their investigation and arrested Nelsen Egwu for Cruelty to Animal related offenses (3rd Degree Felony and Class A Misdemeanor). If you know of any animals, being abused or neglected, please call 9-1-1. You may also email the unit directly at [email protected].
