Witnesses say they saw Shane Carty throw a short-haired cat, named Zayn, from the third-floor balcony of an apartment building on East Pikes Peak Avenue, according to a news release. The animal died of its injuries. Carty was not the pet’s owner. 

Anyone with information on his whereabouts could receive a cash reward, officials said.
