- Sept. 12 -- Pit bulls kill infant in North Las Vegas
The 4-month-old girl mauled to death by two pit bulls Friday has been identified as Cendi Kia Carey of Las Vegas, the Clark County coroner's office said today.
Officers found the infant laying on a bedroom floor. Paramedics pronounced the baby dead from the attack, police said.
The infant girl's grandmother had been babysitting the baby in a home in the 1700 block of Eagle View Way in North Las Vegas, according to North Las Vegas police.
The family's two pit bulls were in the home's back yard and somehow gained entry into the home, the police said.
A 911 call came in about 11:24 a.m. Friday. When officers arrived at the residence, they found the two pit bulls acting aggressive and with blood on their fur, police said. Both dogs were shot to death.
The grandmother of the infant was treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said.
