The far West Side suburban neighborhood filled with two-story garden homes and big trees was peaceful Saturday.
There was no sign of the grisly scene Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies found in the 11400 block of Bronze Sand Road outside Loop 1604 on Friday night, when they responded to a call of animal cruelty and saw nearly a dozen people involved in what officers said was the dismemberment of goats, chickens and other animals.
“It appears that they were having some sort of unknown ritual,” said Sheriff’s Sgt. Elizabeth Gonzalez at the scene. “They were speaking a different language the officer did not recognize.”
Gonzalez said the officer is fluent in English and Spanish and the people who were inside the garage with the animals weren’t talking either language.
The sergeant said deputies saw a woman cutting up “animal parts” while another person was draining the blood of a chicken into a container. Deputies also found multiple dead and mutilated animals inside the home, including goat heads, Gonzalez said.
Eleven men and women, ages 23 to 65, were arrested on charges of cruelty to livestock animals. That offense is a Class A misdemeanor, unless it’s enhanced because of previous related offenses.
The people arrested were Alexander Gene Campos, 23; Ivan Felipe Gonzalez, 24; Carmen Maria Gonzalez-Trujillo, 41; Cynthia Gabriell Martinez, 29; Liza Mercado, 46; Marie Galan Murcia, 65; Ramon Patino Jr., 65; Luiz Rodriguez Ortiz, 41; Robert Talamantez, 55; Irma Garza Talamantez, 64; and Arteaga Ariel Torres, 39.
