Seattle police arrested a suspect Wednesday who they say carjacked a beloved 80-year-old dog walker who died after she struggled to protect the dogs, was pushed out of her car and was struck by the vehicle as the suspect fled.

The 48-year-old suspect was identified after someone reported a man hurting a dog in a park about 5 miles (8 kilometers) away. Officers responded and found Ruth Dalton’s car nearby and were able to get fingerprints from her cellphone, Seattle police Deputy Chief Eric Barden said during a press conference announcing the arrest.

The suspect, who had stabbed the dog to death, was later arrested near his home by a SWAT team, Barden said. He was carrying a knife that had blood on it and the keys to Dalton’s Subaru, he said.

Kills an 80 year old woman by running her over and then later murders the dog the woman was protecting.

This psychopath needs to never get out of prison.

The sentence cut off at “80-year-old dog” and I was really confused.
