Overview
- Raymond Nuñez, 53, is charged with buying, delivering and possessing animals for a fighting venture plus being a felon in possession of a firearm.
- A Tuesday search of his Hacienda Heights home seized an AK‑47, a shotgun, and 10 additional firearms stored in a bedroom safe.
- Agents reported an emaciated pit bull chained outside and another scarred in a bloody cage, along with treadmills, a weighing rope, a skin stapler, and syringes.
- Court filings say the alleged operation ran from at least December 2025 through February 2026, and Nuñez is barred from owning guns due to a 1991 felony.
- He was arrested Wednesday and charged at the downtown Los Angeles federal courthouse as the Dog Fighting and Animal Abuse Task Force continues the case.
