Friday, January 3, 2025 - A 3-year-old girl was found de@d in Cincinnati two days after Christmas after an apparent dog attack.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office confirmed that it positively
identified the victim as 3-year-old Kingsley Renee Wright, who was k!lled on
Dec. 27 while visiting family.
“I just woke up and my daughter is de@d,” the 911 caller, who identified
himself as Kingsley's father, told police, according to 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 told officers that his animals were “in a cage” and not loose
when he awoke to find his daughter de@d.
Cincinnati Police officers who initially responded to the call were advised to turn off their body cameras due to the gruesome nature of Kingsley's injuries.
“I think we’re going to need animal care to respond here to secure two
dogs,” an officer is heard saying in footage obtained by local
station WLWT5.
Kingsley’s grieving mother Gina Smith told the station she had no idea
her daughter would be subjected to dangerous animals, saying, “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 through tears.
Cincinnati Animal CARE said that they were called to the scene on
Dec. 27 to remove three dogs from the home. The animals are now being held at
the shelter for the 10-day bite quarantine period, according to the legal
requirement.
Kingsley's obituary remembers 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
