A 3-year-old girl, Kingsley Renee Wright, tragically lost her life in Cincinnati on December 27 in what has been identified as a fatal dog attack. The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office confirmed the victim’s identity shortly after the incident. Kingsley was visiting family when the attack occurred, leaving her father devastated as he made the harrowing 911 call reporting his daughter’s death.
The father, whose name was not disclosed, expressed shock and confusion to the authorities, stating, “I just woke up and my daughter is dead. There’s blood everywhere, I don’t know what happened. I don’t understand what went on.” The distressing call was recorded and later obtained by local station WXIX.
Upon arriving at the scene, Cincinnati Police officers were confronted with a gruesome sight, prompting them to switch off their body cameras due to the severity of Kingsley’s injuries. The father informed the officers that his dogs were confined in a cage and not roaming freely when he discovered his daughter’s lifeless body.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Kingsley’s grieving mother, Gina Smith, expressed disbelief and anguish, revealing that she had no knowledge of her daughter being exposed to dangerous animals. Smith questioned, “I would have not allowed my baby around vicious dogs. Why would I do that? I just want to know why and how.”
Cincinnati Animal CARE was summoned to the residence on the day of the incident to remove three dogs from the premises. The animals were taken into custody and are currently undergoing a mandatory 10-day quarantine period at the shelter as per legal regulations.
Described as a joyful child with a radiant smile and laughter, Kingsley is fondly remembered in her obituary. The tribute highlights her love for singing and dancing for her family, as well as her ability to find positivity in every situation.
Kingsley is survived by her mother, Gina Smith, and her two brothers, Devin and Bradley, as the family mourns the heartbreaking loss of their beloved daughter and sister. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to assist the family during this difficult time.
