Texas Man Dies Weeks After Being Attacked by 3 Dogs While Walking from Home to Store Relatives say the same dogs attacked Nicolas Vasquez in MayA 51-year-old man died last weekend from injuries he sustained weeks prior during a dog attack in Houston, Texas.
The attack at the intersection of Harvard Road and Knoll Lane left him gravely injured.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office confirms three dogs mauled Nicolas Vasquez back on June 9 in the city's Huffman neighborhood.
A GoFundMe campaign launched earlier this month to help cover his medical expenses says the three dogs almost ate Vasquez alive. Vasquez was walking from his home to a store when the attack occurred, according to the page.
The attack happened at around 9 p.m. on June 9. Vasquez was discovered in a ditch by a neighbor.
Maria Castillo, Vasquez's sister-in-law, told the station both of his legs had to be amputated in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
The sheriff's office is still investigating the dog mauling.
No charges have been filed yet.
The pit bull-terrier mixes were seized days after the attack.
Police have released images of the animals. They hope someone recognizes them and identifies their owner.
Castillo told KPRC-TV the same dogs attacked Vasquez in May.
“He was a very nice person and everyone in the neighborhood knew who he was," she said of Vasquez. "We talked a lot about him doing the garden for me."
She said Vasquez's relatives "want justice. We want the authorities to do everything they can."
Anyone who has had interaction with the dogs or knows the dogs' owners should contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office Violent Crime Unit at 346-286-3169

Lawsuits challenge Oklahoma anti-protest law; riot charges
Six Oklahomans have filed two federal lawsuits that challenge a state law intended to crack down on protestors and that allege their civil rights were violated when they were arrested in Oklahoma City in 2020The anti-protest law is unconstitutionally broad and vague, according to one of the lawsuits filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City on behalf of Sincere Terry, Mia Hogsett, Tyreke Baker, Preston Nabors, Trevour Webb and Austin Mack by the American Civil Liberties Union.
“It sweeps far beyond the very limited and narrow true threats exception to the First Amendment right to freedom of speech, thereby subjecting non-violent protesters to criminal liability for exercising their constitutionally protected rights to speech and assembly,” according to the lawsuit that names state Attorney General John O'Connor and Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater.
The law was passed in 2021 to crack down on protesters by increasing penalties for blocking roadways and granting immunity to motorists who kill or injure rioters. It was among a series of GOP-backed proposals across the country aimed at cracking down on protesters.
Supporters said it was prompted mostly as a result of a pickup truck being driven through a crowd gathered on a Tulsa interstate in 2020 while protesting the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Several people were injured, including one who was paralyzed from the waist down after falling from an overpass.
The driver was not charged after the district attorney said people in the crowd had been throwing things at the vehicle.
The second lawsuit alleges that Prater, the city of Oklahoma City and its police department violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights following a confrontation with a police officer while protesters were painting a mural on the street outside of the department's headquarters.
“Plaintiffs seek … an order mandating Defendants to refrain from targeting and harassing racial justice protestors, so that Plaintiffs and others have freedom to engage in the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution,” according to the lawsuit

DC police to back demonstrations through Tuesday following Roe overturnWashington, D.C., police are mobilizing to support demonstrations taking place in the District after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday.
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) said in a release that MPD has “initiated full departmental activation” through Tuesday as demonstrations in favor and against the ruling continue throughout the weekend. Anti-abortion and pro-abortion rights demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Court shortly after the ruling came out, with both sides showing strong emotions on the decision.
“As the nation’s capital, we take seriously our responsibility to support First Amendment rights,” the statement reads.
The release states D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) has been briefed on the situation and is “committed” to providing the resources to keep the local community safe. MPD and HSEMA are also closely monitoring the developments and are coordinating with federal partners.
The D.C. National Guard tweeted that it has not received a request for assistance from the D.C. government or federal authorities but is ready to provide support if it receives a request for assistance that is approved by the Defense Department.

House Sends First Major Gun Safety Bill in Decades to Biden, Who Intends to Sign it
The House on Friday passed the most significant gun control legislation in nearly three decades, sending a modest set of gun safety measures to President Joe Biden’s desk on a vote that was mostly along party lines.
The bill, which passed on a 234-to-193 vote, would enhance background checks for younger buyers and fund a flurry of new mental health programs, though it falls well short of the more sweeping gun-control measures that Biden has called for. Still, the White House released a statement indicating that the President would sign the bill, calling it “one of the most significant steps Congress has taken to reduce gun violence in decades.”
n the House, 14 Republicans joined every Democrat in supporting the bill. The vote comes exactly a month after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Tex., the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. That massacre occurred just 10 days after a racially-motivated mass shooting at a Buffalo, N.Y. supermarket. This year, there have already been 279 mass shootings, defined as incidents where four or more people are shot or killed, not including the shooter, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
Shortly before Friday’s vote, a group of roughly 30 House Democrats gathered on the Capitol steps with other gun control advocates. They sang “God Bless America” while holding photos of people lost to gun violence. “Our success today will never be the end of this fight, but it is a beginning,” Rep. Lucy McBath, a Democrat from Georgia, said as family members affected by gun violence listened. “This bill doesn’t answer all of our prayers, but this is hope.”
