Arrest Warrant Active for Tyrese Gibson in Fatal Neighbor’s Dog Mauling, Police Say

Authorities cite repeated loose-dog complaints plus security footage as they investigate owner responsibility.

Overview

  • Fulton County police say Gibson missed a Friday deadline to surrender, and the misdemeanor animal cruelty warrant remains active.
  • Gibson’s attorney says he has rehomed the Cane Corsos, offers condolences, and insists he is cooperating, a claim police dispute.
  • On Sept. 18, a neighbor’s 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Henry, was found dead; incident reports cite puncture wounds, broken ribs, and severe internal bleeding.
  • Security video allegedly showed Gibson’s four Cane Corsos roaming and scratching at a nearby door minutes before the attack, and another resident called 911 after the dogs blocked her from reaching her car.
  • After initially agreeing on Sept. 22 to surrender the dogs, Gibson asked for more time; police obtained search and arrest warrants that night but found him and the dogs gone, saying community safety is their priority.
