On February 24, 2023, Ramon Najera and his wife, Juanita Najera, were viciously attacked by two pit bulls owned by the defendants. This occurred while Mr. and Mrs. Najera were running an errand near the defendants’ residence. The unprovoked attack was the direct result of the defendants’ gross negligence, as they failed to secure their dogs with adequate fencing, leaving the canines free to roam without leashes or restraints. Ramon Najera sustained fatal injuries, while Juanita Najera suffered bodily injury.
Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales stated, “This unfortunate tragedy was preventable. The defendants’ failure to act responsibly and secure their pit bulls resulted in injuries and the loss of a life. I believe the defendants received adequate punishment and justice has been served for the Najera family.”
