Owner Aubrey Garcia received a heartbreaking call from police revealing Kiyo had been tied to a pole with his mouth bound, discovered by a man viewing nearby property. Despite an extensive search and reward offered, Kiyo suffered abuse before his death, prompting an aggravated animal abuse investigation. The necropsy indicated he died just hours before being found. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward. Kiyo is being cremated and will return home to Phoenix, while the suspect faces potential prison time.

SUMMARY: Governor Kay Ivey signed the controversial “Back the Blue” bill, which increases legal protections for police officers. The bill sets standards for use of force and provides immunity hearings for officers. Supporters, including Republicans, argue it ensures law enforcement is protected, while opponents, such as State Senator Roger Smitherman, contend it undermines citizens’ rights and disproportionately targets Black communities. Critics, including activist Carl McClure, argue the bill reinforces systems that criminalize and harm marginalized groups. The bill specifies that officers will not be charged unless their actions violate constitutional rights, a provision that has sparked significant debate.
