Overview
- Kaleb Mickens, known online as Cash Cartier, received 40 years for murdering Sheila Cueva and 35 more years for assaults on other women in Tarrant County, Texas.
- Police said Mickens called 911 in 2023 and claimed his dog, Crixus, attacked Cueva, but investigators later ruled the animal out.
- The dog was euthanized after the incident, a decision that proved mistaken once forensic work showed the injuries did not come from a canine.
- Detectives found clashing statements and evidence of severe violence, and authorities said drugs played a role in the events that led to Cueva’s death.
- Several ex-partners testified about fear, control, and physical abuse, while Mickens’ online persona as a luxury influencer with about 100,000 followers included public posts mourning his girlfriend and dog.
