Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department arrived at the property at about 7:30 a.m. after someone called 911 with a report of screaming. The property's owner was not home at the time of the incident, the RCDAS shared. After Wednesday's events, however, the dogs, which included three Belgian Malinois and a Cane Corso, were surrendered by the owner to the animal services center for "humane euthanasia." While the victim had previously been at the property without any incidents, RCDAS Director Erin Gettis called the mauling "a horrific reminder for dog owners to be vigilant in keeping communities, dogs, and people safe." 4 American Friends Were Kidnapped in Mexico and 2 Were Killed: Here's What We Know About Them "This is a tragedy, and our thoughts go out to this gentleman's family and loved ones," Gettis added in Wednesday's report. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. The property is fenced in with various signs warning of dogs on the premises, according to NBC Los Angeles. A woman who lives near the home told the outlet workers often leave the gates open, allowing the dogs to get out. "The dogs chase the cars, the high school students. They're dangerous, that's why I close my gate all the time – I have small children and that's why I close it," she said. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?
