USA TODAY NETWORK Joel Shannon, USA TODAY Published 5:49 p.m. ET June 8, 2018 | Updated 10:41 a.m. ET June 9, 2018
Authorities say a 12-foot, 6-inch alligator attacked and killed a woman who was walking her dogs in Davie, Florida, on Friday.
Search teams found the body of the victim just before 10 p.m. on Friday, according to a Saturday release from Florida's Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. The incident occurred at the Silver Lakes Rotary Nature Park lake in Davie.
A FWC statement identified the woman as Shizuka Matsuki, 47, of Plantation, Fla.
On Friday, a witness told authorities he saw the woman walking two dogs and then noticed the dogs barking near the water, but he did not see the woman again, said Davie Police Detective Viviana Gallinal.
