FALLS CHURCH, VA - A 25-year-old Virginia man is in custody after allegedly brutally stabbing a dog to death. Lucy, had to be euthanized. Lucy, a beloved 12-year-old about to turn 13 in March, was on a walk with her owner in Falls Church, Virginia, on Sunday just after 9 p.m. when Reyan Hassan Ibrahim reportedly pulled up, stabbed Lucy, and then drove off.
Muriel Forrest, the executive director of Wheatland Farm, revealed that Ibrahim is believed to be the same man who had entered their horse pasture and was confronted by staff on the previous Friday. According to Forrest, Ibrahim had made agitated claims about the horses being possessed, exhibiting erratic behavior. Although asked to leave, he returned later that day, leaving behind two dead ducks and an injured rooster.
Forrest noted that Ibrahim returned the next day with his face covered and what appeared to be a weapon hanging from his pants. Wheatland Farm staff captured a video of him leaving in his car with covered plates. Concerned about his intentions, they called 911 and utilized social media to spread the word about the incidents.
The tragic news of Lucy's stabbing on Sunday night added to the distress. Ibrahim was subsequently arrested on Monday and is expected to be extradited to face charges in Falls Church. The community mourns Lucy's loss, and Wheatland Farm expresses solidarity with Lucy's grieving family. The unsettling series of events underscores the need for awareness and vigilance in addressing potential threats to both animals and people.
