Oklahoma City Police said they were looking for two individuals believed to be responsible for the deaths. 

They have since been identified, but their names and ages have not been released. 

According to the police report, the male was seen on video holding a bunny down in its cage. 

The report said he also reached into the cage of a parakeet before stealing a hamster and guinea pig.

The bunny and parakeet were found dead in their cages, and the hamster was found dead in the parking lot. 

The guinea pig was considered missing until Edmond Police said security footage at Mitch Park showed the same two people walking into a bathroom with it.

Its remains were later found outside that bathroom. 

OKC Animal Welfare is also assisting in the investigation. So far no arrests have been made. 

**Editor's note: Police initially said they were searching for the female individual involved, but she said she didn't know the animals were dead until after the social media post was made.**
