ATLANTA — Fulton County police arrested a man suspected in the killing and abuse of two dogs at an Atlantic Station parking deck.

Bodycam captured footage of the suspect arrested for another crime, LIVE on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4:00 p.m.

According to police, Wilson “intentionally and maliciously” caused the strangling deaths of the dogs on July 22.

The dogs also showed signs of other abuse. Police previously told Seiden it was one of the most disturbing animal cruelty cases they’ve ever investigated.

They were discovered in the parking garage by a man when he showed up to clean.

Investigators thanked the community for their assistance in identifying Wilson as the suspect.

Cameras captured the man in the area walking toward the garage with the dogs and back without them.
