Marcus Luttrell is a former US Navy SEAL, an American hero and the only survivor of the deadliest battle the SEALs have ever faced. His was also the owner of a well loved yellow lab named Daisy until some punks were out joyriding and getting their thrills by killing.
We know that no dog is ever “just a dog” but even as dogs go, Daisy was special. She was a therapy dog that was a gift to Luttrell as he lay in his hospital bed recovered from horrific wound sustained in battle in Afghanistan. Her name was a acronym that stood for the names of four of the men in his unit.
On the night in question Marcus Luttrell heard gunshots and after checking on his mother, grabbed his gun and took off out of his Texas home. He tracked the commotion to a roadside ditch where he saw what was going on; four young punks laughing over the brutally shot and killed body of his dog, Daisy. The punks had taken Daisy, who was a friendly dog, from her home, dragged her to the road and shot her with a .357.
You can imagine the pain, grief and anger he must have felt watching these punks laughing over Daisy’s body; Daisy, his best friend, the dog he thought of as his “daughter,” his connection to his fallen comrades and friends.
The punks: Iidentified as Michael Edmonds, who is on the run and Alfonso Hernandez, who has been arrested and charged, started running then. Luttrell got in his truck and chased them across four counties, keeping in touch with authorities who whole time. There was numerous times that Luttrell could have shot them and didn’t, although you will see in the interview below, he wanted to.
In Huntsville, TX, a roadblock was set and the four punks were apprehended, stil laughing and they actually threatened Luttrell’s life.
Unfortunately only 2 of the 4 were charged, the remaining tow were seen as “bystanders” even though they stood by laughing.
Punk Asshole on the run: Alfonso Hernandez was charged with animal cruelty and if convicted faces up to two years in prison but Michael Edmonds is on the run and authorities want him caught and dropping the soap soon!.
If you have any information about his whereabouts, please call the Texas Rangers in Huntsville, Texas at: (936) 435-0152 and ask for Sgt. Steven Jeter.
