This action by the city agency only worsened when the wife told the cops how the dogs were at each other's throats. But the police said that even with the increased viciousness of the dogs, there was no attempt to secure their pets safely. There was no move to keep the animals restrained by chains or in cages which the owners discounted the threat to others' safety, citing Yahoo.

Allegedly, the dogs got out of the yard, went after Najera, and bit him hard while dragging him in the street. It took firefighters with pick axes to chase them away from the victim. The fire captain also got bitten in the leg during the vicious dog attack.

The aftermath of the fatal dog attack prompted Animal Control Services to euthanize King and Snow with a third dog of the family.

Cops apprehended Moreno initially and charged the dog owner with a felony which is a deadly dog attack that killed an older person with injuries too. Later the police would arrest Schnieder and get the same charges as her husband. Since she, too, owns the dogs that killed Najera. The wife made a public apology to the deceased's family, saying that Moreno was not at fault.

A statement was issued by Chief Charles Hood saying the terrible scene, including the horrific experience for the firefighters. They ended up trying to save themselves from the attacking dogs. It scarred the firemen, who fought the vicious animals instead of rescuing someone.

Details reveal that a San Antonio couple did not secure their already notorious aggressive dogs that mauled an elderly man to death.
