A woman is accused of stabbing and killing a 4-month-old puppy a day after taking custody of it, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.

A Clark County grand jury voted last week to indict Shuntiera Tyler on a charge of cruelty to animals, records said.

On Sept. 15, 2024, a person discovered the 4-month-old Husky-German Shepherd mix “beaten and bleeding” in a dumpster at an apartment complex near Rainbow Boulevard and Sunset Road, documents said.

A Clark County Animal Protection Services officer responded, finding the puppy in poor condition and not breathing, documents said. The officer scanned the dog’s microchip, finding the name of the puppy’s previous owner.

That previous owner told police he re-homed the puppy to Tyler the day before, documents said. That person also told police that Tyler told him she gave the dog to another person because she could not keep the dog in her apartment.

In an interview with police, Tyler described how she met a third person to drop off the dog, documents said. Police reviewed surveillance videos from nearby stores and businesses, and used license-plate-reader technology, but could not find Tyler’s vehicle on the route she described.

The discovery of the dog in the dumpster happened just nine minutes after Tyler told a person she re-homed the dog, police said.

Tyler’s grand jury charge indicates she is accused of stabbing the puppy in the chest.

Metro police initially arrested Tyler in February, records said. Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Rebecca Saxe set bail at $20,000 and ordered Tyler not to have any animals. Tyler’s justice court case was dismissed following the grand jury indictment.
