- Fulton County Police searched Gibson’s residence on September 22 with a warrant but found neither the actor nor the dogs, while Gibson posted on social media about traveling to Dubai for a mental health break through November
- The case hinges on repeated warnings to Gibson about letting the dogs roam unleashed, with animal services calling the fatal attack a case of “negligence” that ended an “innocent animal’s” life
USA HERALD – Fulton County Police Animal Services continues searching for two Cane Corsos owned by actor Tyrese Gibson after the dogs allegedly mauled a neighbor’s pet to death on September 18, 2025, with authorities reporting the animals’ whereabouts remain unknown despite a court order requiring their surrender.
Captain Nicole Dwyer of Fulton County Police Animal Services stated that law enforcement has been unable to locate the dogs and accused Gibson of providing inconsistent information to investigators. Gibson failed to appear at a scheduled September 24 surrender appointment, with his attorney later telling police the actor needed additional time to arrange his affairs.
The investigation began when a neighbor released his dog into his yard and discovered the animal dead minutes later from what authorities described as a brutal attack. According to Captain Dwyer’s statement, Gibson had received multiple prior warnings about allowing his Cane Corsos to roam freely off his property.
Dwyer characterized the incident as “negligence” that resulted in the death of an “innocent animal.”
On September 22, 2025, Fulton County Police executed a search warrant at Gibson’s residence. Neither Gibson nor the two Cane Corsos were present at the property.
That same day, according to Dwyer’s account, Gibson’s manager initially told investigators the animals would be surrendered. However, during a subsequent three-way phone call, Gibson reversed that commitment.
Adding complexity to the search, authorities observed social media posts from Gibson announcing he was taking a mental health break and traveling to Dubai with plans to remain there until November.
Gibson’s attorney provided a statement asserting: “Mr. Gibson stands by the original statement that I provided you which reflects he is fully cooperating with the authorities in this matter.”
The statement did not address the dogs’ current location or explain the missed surrender appointment.
