A 71-year-old woman was found dead after she was reportedly mauled to death by one or possibly multiple dogs in Miami Gardens, police say.
According to the Miami Gardens Police, officers were dispatched to the area of Northwest 196th Terrace off of 14th Court, right by Hard Rock Stadium, around 7:40 a.m., Monday, in response to calls reporting a woman who was unresponsive.
At the scene, officials found the victim lying on the ground next to a trailer, suffering from apparent dog bites. She was later pronounced dead by paramedics.
“My mother. I don’t have anyone else. She was the only person I have,” said the victim’s daughter, Lateisha Wilkinson.
Her family said the woman was walking to her Walmart job when she was attacked. They added she often complained about the neighborhood dogs as they would taunt her every morning.
Neighbors say the area is known for dangerous dogs.
As of now, police are still searching for the dog or multiple dogs that may have been involved as well as their owner.
