Manhunt ends in capture of notorious animal killer

Last week ARM reached out to the public offering a $10,000 reward to assist in bringing forth the full identity of ‘America’s most wanted animal killer’, at the time known as ‘Elvin’.

After a collaborated effort from ARM’s undercover investigations, the Miami Dade Police Department and the Miami Dade State Attorney’s office, along with the public’s support, the man hunt for ‘Elvin’ – otherwise known as Yurianne Hervis Gonzalez, was arrested on 30 counts of animal cruelty convictions as well as grand auto theft charges. ARM is now reaching out for the public’s assistance in bringing to justice the final ‘at large’ offender, known as “Manolo”.

The video below is footage documented whilst ARM investigators were undercover on the same illegal slaughter farm that Raul ‘Freaky’ Fernandez, Yoinsley ‘ Pipe’ Garcia and Yurianne Hervis Gonzale ‘Elvin’ have all been arrested for violent crimes against animals. The man hunt for ‘Manolo’ is currently underway. Any and all information that can lead to his full identity and arrest can be provided by contacting ARM.

The video below is the official video that was broadcasted across the US on a State wide man hunt.

On August 5th, 2014, Yurianne Hervis Gonzalez, previously known to ARM as ‘Elvin’, was arrested in a stolen truck. He was attempting to sell the stolen vehicle to flee Florida and head to Texas to avoid being caught. Gonzalez currently stands at a $80,000 bond until his trial where he is facing 30 counts of animal cruelty crimes as well as a slew of other major crimes such as grand theft auto and domestic violence.

For the first time, ARM has offered a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of one of the most violent animal killers that ARM has investigated to date. This tactic is part of an effort to demonstrate that the organization will go above and beyond to put every animal abuser behind bars!

The man in question, currently known as ‘Elvin’, was the main butcherer and animal abuser on the property where ‘Operation Noche Buena’ was undertaken. Learn more about this operation in our Operations section of the website.
