The Atlanta Falcons cut linebacker Prince Shembo on Friday after he was charged with killing his ex-girlfriend's dog. Shembo, a second-year player from Notre Dame, was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, a felony, by police in Gwinnett Gounty, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Shembo's ex-girlfriend, Denicia Williams, called police on April 19 and told them Shembo had killed the dog, a Yorkie named Dior, when she left him alone with it at his apartment. She said he made comments the next day about killing the dog and she broke up with him.
This is the dog killed and the real animal is below.
