A Southern California man is wanted for allegedly killing a puppy during an argument Tuesday.

The suspect was identified as David Sumlin, 32, by the Los Angeles Police Department. Police said Sumlin was involved in an argument with an unidentified victim that morning.

After the argument, Sumlin allegedly held a pillow over the victim’s dog and pointed a firearm toward the pillow saying, “It’s either you or the dog,” authorities said.
