SOUTH GATE (CBSLA) — A woman is wanted Tuesday after being caught on surveillance video carrying off a kitten who was later found dead on a South Gate street.

In a Facebook post, Cindy Esquivel posted images of the woman with orange hair walking onto a porch. Security video shows the woman walking up to the porch carrying a bag, a sweatshirt and a face mask under her chin unlatching the gate to the porch. In another video from another angle, the woman fiddles with a Coca-Cola box before turning around with Esquivel’s 6-week-old kitten in one arm and a cigarette in her mouth. At one point, the woman is seeing spraying the kitten — known as Porch — with bug spray.
