AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A woman was killed in a dog attack Wednesday in Augusta, according to deputies.
At 10:29 a.m., the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 3500 block of Ira Road in reference to a dog attack.
The victim was walking on Ira Road when she was attacked, Richmond County Coroner Mark Bowen said.
Upon arrival, deputies located a female victim who had been attacked by two dogs, according to deputies.
She died at the scene, according to Bowen.
The victim won’t be identified until next of kin have been notified, Bowen said.
An autopsy has been scheduled.
The investigation is in its early stages and no further information is available, deputies said.
The attention seemed to be focused on a grayish house.
Animal control officers appeared to be inside one of the homes on the street, and they brought out two dogs.
The last fatal dog attack in memory in the CSRA happened on March 22, 2202, in the 3700 block of Columbia Drive in Martinez. Serenity Rose Garnett, who was 7 months old, was killed by a dog while her great-grandmother was watching over her at a home where she rented a room.
Another dog attack in January 2023, also in Columbia County, severely injured Justin Gilstrap, then 11, leading to a long series of surgeries.
