A North Carolina man suspected of dumping a boiling pot of water on a cat in a viral Facebook video who became the target of the Internet’s outrage on Thursday was not the alleged culprit, police say.

Despite police in North Carolina searching for a suspect on Thursday, the incident happened in Chicago. Police have charged 18-year-old Leon Teague with felony animal torture, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The name “Daquan Smith” circulated on social media. His address and other personal information was published by enraged animal lovers, and a Twitter account was set-up to details about him. It’s not clear if the North Carolina resident, who deleted his Facebook page, reposted the video.
The police department’s Animal Crimes Unit worked with Cook County sheriff’s department to gather information during the investigation, identifying Teague as the person in the video, according to the release.

The incident took place in the 6900 block of South Kind Drive, and the cat was last seen alive in that area but ran away when officers tried to catch it, according to police.

Teague is scheduled to appear in Cook County bond court Friday.
