Officials are investigating after two dogs owned by Raiders cornerback Taiwan Jones attacked and killed a Chihuahua on Monday night, the Contra Costa Times reported.
Brentwood resident Olivia Paredes said she was out walking her dog, a 12-year-old beige Chihuahua named Chula, shortly before 8 p.m. along Larkspur Court when she saw two shadows coming quickly toward her and her dog.
She said the dogs charged Chula and attacked, killing the family pet.
“I walked my dog along that street every night,” Paredes said. “We’ve had (Chula) since she was 6 weeks old. She was part of the family. I usually have granddaughter with me and I just worry … this could happen again.”
The dogs, pit bull mixes, are family pets owned by Jones.
The attack has devastated Jones, according to his agent, Doug Hendrickson, who said Jones is a deep animal lover and has tried to reach out to Paredes since the incident. Hendrickson confirmed that Jones was with the dogs at the time of the attack.
“It was a tragic accident and he feels terrible about it,” Hendrickson said. “It’s never happened before. He’s sick over this, no question.”
According to Hendrickson, the dogs have never attacked humans or other animals before. The dogs have been quarantined with Contra Costa County Animal Services during the investigation.
