Fatal Dog Attack Investigation Continues

RUSK COUNTY — Questions are still being raised in the mauling death of a 2-year-old Kaden Muckleroy outside Henderson. The pit bull, one of 38 dogs found on the property, was said to have been tied to a tree. The dog reportedly got loose and attacked the child. The Rusk County Sheriff says owner Kelvin Muckleroy has since turned over the dog and about 29 others to authorities. At the time of the attack, Muckleroy, Kaden’s grandfather, was at work. Authorities are investigating why the toddler was left unsupervised. Kaden died at a local hospital Wednesday morning. According to KETK, so far, no charges have been filed.
