Ruskin Man Charged With Animal Cruelty, Attempted Murder

»  Comments | Post a Comment

Fidencio Rosas was arrested Monday, charged with gunning down a Wimauma man's dog in June 2007 and trying to kill the man as well.

Joe Castaneda was in a car in front of his home when Rosas fired a shotgun, Hillsborough County deputies say. One round hit Castaneda's dog, killing it. Two hit Castaneda's vehicle. One round went through the door of Castaneda's home.

Rosas disliked Castaneda because Castaneda had dated a woman who then dated Rosas' cousin, deputies say.

Rosas was arrested at 9:30 p.m. Monday at Adamo Drive and Falkenburg Road.

Rosas, 21, of Ruskin, was charged with attempted first-degree murder and cruelty to animals.

He remained in Orient Road Jail today. No bail had been set.
