LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Thurman Lowe has been identified as the suspect who stabbed a Metro K9 downtown last Friday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says.
Lowe faces multiple felony charges including arson; assault on a protected person with a deadly weapon; resisting a public officer with a deadly weapon, not a firearm; torture/injure/poison/attempt to kill police animal and arrest of a fugitive from another state on a warrant.
Friday, police initially responded with fire personnel at 1215 S. Las Vegas Boulevard, south of Charleston around 1:08 p.m. to a barricaded person later identified as Lowe.
Police confirmed that the barricade was connected to a fire investigation.
Just after 3 p.m., LVMPD posted on social media that one of their K9s, Enzo, was injured while responding. The K9 was airlifted to a local animal hospital.
Saturday, police provided an update saying that Enzo feels better.
“Thanks again to all the skilled veterinarians who have been taking care of Enzo,” Metro said.
