was the blue suitcase that led police to the pit bull’s killer.
On Wednesday, more than a month after Ollie was found in a suitcase with more than 30 stab wounds, Hollywood police announced the arrest of Brendan Evans, 31.
Evans, who has a rap sheet including an arrest in 2012 on domestic battery charges, now faces a charge of aggravated animal cruelty.
Police say the DNA on the suitcase linked back to Evans, who is on probation for a bank robbery in Hernando County in central Florida. Hollywood police had arrested him Nov. 15 after DNA linked him to a residential burglary in the city.
“We will not tolerate any form of animal cruelty or violence in our city,” Acting Police Chief Chris O’Brien said in a news release. “Each reported case of animal cruelty, be it physical abuse or neglect, is disturbing, and this case is particularly heartbreaking.”
Evans told police “he had a right to kill animals in the name of voodoo,’’ according to the arrest report.
Hollywood police said when they searched his apartment, they found blood and animals remains throughout.
“Brendan Evans’ apartment held suspect cat paws, suspect rats with scalps removed, legs removed, tails severed and heads decapitated.’’
On Oct. 10, Hollywood police received a 911 call reporting an abandoned suitcase at 1945 Lee St. When officers arrived, they saw a paw sticking out and realized there was a dog inside.
The pit bull — later named Ollie — was taken to VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital for treatment. According to Evans’ police report, detectives recovered a red dog collar, rope and a black sock from inside the Rockland suitcase.
People around the world rallied for Ollie, raising more than $30,000. But Ollie didn’t survive. The police report said Ollie suffered 37 stab wounds. Police said the veterinarian determined that being shoved in the suitcase and being deprived of oxygen likely contributed to Ollie’s death.
By the end of October, Hollywood police said they had detectives assigned to the case and announced a $35,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
According to police, a laboratory analysis report from Oct. 27 determined that Evans was a match for the DNA found on the outside of the suitcase, the top and side of the suitcase and the zipper.
Police soon learned that Evans lived on Lee Street. Police paid Evans a visit, according to the report, but Evans denied his involvement.
Last week, police executed a search warrant at a home in the 1900 block of Lee Street.
“We were all pulling for Ollie to survive, but unfortunately he didn’t make it,” O’Brien said. “However, due to our investigation, we are now able to provide justice for Ollie.”
Santeria or some form of Voodoo.
With the scores of Puerto Ricans leaving their island for Florida, expect to see much more of this.
I think he should received 37 stab wounds & then be stuffed into a suitcase.
I guess Brendan Evans could be Puerto Rican, but I doubt he is.
After all, remember:
Voodoo is a religion of peace — George W. Bush
Many young people (35 y/o and under) have been raised to fear or distrust Christianity, and will readily accept other religions instead. For many, it’s ABC (Anything BUT Christianity), even straight out Witchcraft may seem more ‘acceptable’ to their peers. Some parents of these young people may have been effected by the sex scandals in the Catholic Church that were so common twenty years ago. For many, that broke any vestigal bonds of faith.
Animal abusers often graduate to abusing humans.
I wonder if any human remains will show up during the searches?
In any case, this guy should be kept off the streets forever. He is a sick psycho.
Lock this twisted screw worm up forever with some lumberhead who enjoys hurting people.
Grrrr...
Poor little doggie. I hope that rat bastard gets his. SOB
Been there for decades. It’s morphed from voodoo through death-metal music, and any sinister form you can think of, and probably some a sane person can’t.
Lee,
I thought he would be from a Carribian Island where voodoo is practiced. However, The perp looked as though he is caucasian. Just looking for a cover for his sick hobby.
I keep telling people DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS OUTSIDE UNATTENDED FOR EVEN ONE SECOND.
This crap happens far more often than people want to believe.
The demon skinwalkers commonly snatch pets for sacrifices to their false idols.
Not that far from me, they had to raze an abandoned historically significant church because Satanists were constantly torturing animals to death in it.
Govenor,
Thank you for posting the photos. In another article a neighbor said she heard the pup screaming and an angry male voice, yet she did nothing.

Sheesh. She's as bad as the perp. Probably would have done the same if she'd heard a human screaming.
It is because too many in this country has turned from Christianity that evil is encouraged and flourishes seemngly unabated.
This monster has been convicted of domestic abuse. He has also tortured and killed cats as well. It would not surprise me if he has or would have started on people.
I guess Brendan Evans could be Puerto Rican, but I doubt he is.
He’s no Puerto Rican and he doesn’t practice voodoo, IMHO. I think he’s a demon possessed sadist that gets off on torturing and killing animals and he should be put away for the rest of his life because he is worthless and undeserving to breath the air we breathe and I hope they don’t let him out on bail. Keep him off the streets. Some helpless human may suffer.......(if they haven’t already).
