If you’ve been following this story you know it’s been a crazy one. Murderers and tigers were on the loose in Houston.

A tiger last seen roaming through a Houston neighborhood has been found and safely taken into custody.

Authorities lost track of the tiger after arresting its owner, Victor Hugo Cuevas, last week. They say Victor left the tiger with his wife Gia, who offered to turn it over to police on Saturday. The tiger, a 9-month-old male named India, was unharmed and was taken to a local animal sanctuary on Sunday.

Cuevas, it turned out, was a suspect in a 2017 murder investigation who was out on bond. He’s currently in custody on charges of evading arrest.

What would you do if you saw a tiger walking around the neighborhood?
