Volusia County Animal Control Services euthanized the two mixed breed dogs Thursday. The sheriff's investigation is ongoing.

A Nigerian man has been extradited to the US to face charges in the “sextortion” of a South Carolina teen who died by suicide in 2022. Prosecutors allege the scammer posed as a young woman, persuaded 17-year-old Gavin Guffey to send him nude photos and then threatened to publicize them if Guffey didn’t send money.

The county will send forensic evidence to Harvard University's Canine Brain Research Group to further research canine hostility.

As for the owner’s potential charges, attorney Aaron Delgado, who is not involved in the case, explained that Florida law presents two main possibilities: a felony charge if there’s evidence the dogs were previously deemed dangerous or a misdemeanor charge if there’s no prior record of dangerous behavior.
