SFPD Investigators Seeking Public Assistance in Locating Domestic Violence, Animal Cruelty Suspect 18-056

On April 14th, 2018 at approximately 11:42 AM, SFPD officers responded to a store on the unit block of Turk Street regarding a fight.

Upon arrival, the male suspect and female victim had left the scene.  A preliminary investigation revealed that a male suspect and female victim were having an argument in the store when the male suspect threw canned goods at the female.  The male suspect then grabbed the victim’s four month old Cocker Spaniel puppy from the arms of another party and forcefully slammed the puppy onto the floor of the store.

Responding officers located the victim and her puppy “Prince” near Turk Street and Taylor Street. The officers transported the victim and puppy to San Francisco Animal Care and Control (SFACC) for treatment. Unfortunately, Prince did not survive his injuries.

The suspect, Delos Pierre Gallon, a 23 year-old male, San Francisco resident is wanted on domestic violence, kidnapping and felony animal cruelty charges.  He has a prior arrest for firearms violations and should be considered dangerous.  His booking photo and surveillance video accompany this news release.

Anyone who sees Gallon should call 911 and be prepared to provide Gallon’s current location and description.  Anyone with information on this incident should contact investigators via the SFPD 24 hour tip line at (415) 575-4444, or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.
