3-Year-Old Child in Southern California Bitten by Coyote Twice in Front of Home
DNA testing linked the animal to a prior park attack, and officials are searching daylight and nighttime hours through Monday.
- On Tuesday, a 3-year-old child was bitten twice by a coyote while family members unloaded their car in the 400 block of Moorehaven Drive in Carson, California, sustaining minor injuries.
- DNA testing confirmed the coyote is the same animal that attacked a 6-year-old boy in August 2025 at Del Amo Park, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which labeled it a "repeat offender."
- California Department of Fish and Wildlife personnel are conducting nightly operations from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Monday, April 6, while urging residents to remove food waste and secure trash to prevent attracting the animal.
- Authorities may extend the search if the coyote remains at large; residents should report sightings to the Carson Sheriff's Station at 310-830-1123 or the state wildlife agency at 858-467-4257.
- Coyote attacks are seasonal, with 66% occurring during the breeding and pup-rearing season from March to August, according to agency reports, which advise keeping children supervised and pets on leashes.
