K9s Find Florida Murderer Hidden in the Woods

The Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff's Office (HSCO)used K9s to find and arrest a violent criminal responsible for the brutal murder of two innocent victims, according to a department press release.

Angel Gabriel Cuz-Choc was discovered by detectives less than 24 hours after a deceased woman and child were found on April 25.

"From the moment our deputies arrived at the gruesome scene, we poured every resource available into tracking down the suspect responsible for this heinous crime and bringing him to justice," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in the release. "Cuz-Choc will face the full weight of the criminal justice system for his vicious, vile, and evil actions."

All night long, detectives and members of HCSO specialty teams searched for Cuz-Choc. K9 deputies tracked him to a wooded area, where the suspect was concealed in a bush, according to the report.

"Not only did he commit an unimaginable crime which cruelly claimed the lives of two innocent victims, he then made the cowardly and ultimately futile attempt to evade capture. His efforts were no match for our team of dedicated detectives who left no stone unturned in their search," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "There wasn't a square inch within this perimeter that our deputies did not have covered."

The department shared body cam footage of the arrest.
