Pittsburg Police Seek Public’s Help in Locating Two Wanted Suspects
The Pittsburg Police Department is actively seeking the whereabouts of two suspects wanted in connection with a disturbing incident involving animal cruelty and a firearm.
Recently, officers responded to a neighborhood dispute that resulted in a small dog, Gigi, being kicked. The case was immediately referred to our Investigations Division, where detectives worked diligently to identify those involved. As a result of our investigation, arrest warrants have been issued for Lagashia Williams (pictured left) and Graciela Amar (pictured right) on multiple felony charges.
Both individuals remain at large and should be considered armed and dangerous due to the presence of a firearm during the original incident which is still outstanding. If you see either suspect, do not approach—instead, contact your local authorities immediately.
