A man was arrested and is facing negligent homicide charges after failing to restrain his pit bull terrier, which attacked and killed a 7-year-old girl, authorities said.
Erick Lopez, 20, of East Baton Rouge told deputies his dog would often roam unrestrained through the neighboring property where the child was attacked, according to the arrest report obtained by CNN. On January 6, the dog wandered into the neighbor’s property where Sadie Davila was playing in the yard, the report read. The dog “viciously attacked” Sadie and continued to maul her despite a relative’s attempts to stop the attack by hitting the dog with a walking cane, according to the report.
Sadie’s mother, Haley Anselmo, told CNN “nothing will be the same” after her daughter’s death. “She was the light in all our lives,” Anselmo said. “She thought more about others needs before her own. She had a big imagination and so much spunk. She wanted everyone to be happy. She was my mini me.” Animal control officials captured the dog, which they found with blood around its face and mouth. It is unclear what will happen to the dog.
