A 3-year-old girl was discovered deceased in Cincinnati two days after Christmas following an apparent dog attack.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the identity of the victim as 3-year-old Kingsley Renee Wright, who died on December 27 while visiting family.
“I just woke up and my daughter is dead,” the 911 caller, identified as Kingsley’s father, reported to the police in audio obtained by local station WXIX. “There’s blood everywhere, I don’t know what happened. I don’t understand what went on. ”
The caller indicated that the dogs were “in a cage” and not loose when he found his daughter deceased.
Cincinnati Police officers who initially responded were instructed to turn off their body cameras due to the graphic nature of Kingsley’s injuries.
“I think we’re going to need animal care to respond here to secure two dogs,” an officer stated in footage obtained by local station WLWT5.
Kingsley’s grieving mother, Gina Smith, expressed her shock at the incident, stating, “I would have not allowed my baby around vicious dogs. Why would I do that? ”
“I just want to know why and how,” Smith said emotionally.
Cincinnati Animal CARE reported that they were called to the scene on December 27 to remove three dogs from the residence. The animals are currently being held at the shelter for a mandatory 10-day bite quarantine period.
Kingsley’s obituary describes her as “a happy girl with a beautiful laugh and smile. ”
“She loved to sing and dance for her family, and always saw the positive and bright side of everything around her,” the tribute reads.
Kingsley is survived by her mother and two brothers, Devin and Bradley.
