One arrested after shooting dog and trespassing in residence early Sunday morning.

On Sunday May 21st at 12:23 AM, Amarillo Police Officers received multiple calls in the 9000 block of Heritage Hills Parkway on a dog being shot. Callers saw two subjects flee the scene before the officers arrived. Randall County Sheriff’s Deputies and Department of Public Safety Troopers responded and assisted in searching for the suspects. One subject, an 18-year-old male, was located and detained between Lexford Drive and Heritage Hills Parkway. The second subject, 17-year-old RMoney Kyanvean Cashun Thomas, entered a home on Lexford Drive without permission. Thomas fled that home once officers were called but was located hiding between two houses on the block. No firearm was found on either subject, but one was later located on the ground between two houses in the area. The firearm was traced back to Thomas.
 
Thomas was charged with Discharging a Firearm in a Municipality, Cruelty to Non-Livestock Animals, Criminal Trespass of a Habitation, Evading Arrest and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon. He was booked into the Randall County Jail. The second subject was released at the scene.
