Simone Lyke, 32, was attacked by her male Bully dog around 11pm on July 24 on the balcony of her San Antonio apartment.
Police said Lyke had a friend over at the time, which had aggravated the dog. She was trying to move her pet to the balcony when he turned on her.
The dog unexpectedly lunged at Lyke and the gory scene rapidly unfolded as she screamed for someone to call 911.
A bystander tried to intervene and threw a pizza at the dog, but this only caught his attention momentarily before he continued relentlessly biting Lyke.
She had tried to protect herself from the rampaging animal with her purse, witnesses told police, but her efforts were unsuccessful.
She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition as police tried to tame the pet.
Lyke succumbed to her fatal injuries on Sunday – which was her 32nd birthday – and her death was attributed to complications of dog mauling, KSAT reported.

They eventually got ahold of the pet, which is now quarantined in the custody of San Antonio Animal Care Services (ACS) pending the investigation.
ACS identified Lyke and another person as the owners of the pit bull. The second owner was hit with criminal citations after Lyke’s death.
They were cited for the dog biting Lyke as well as failing to show proof of vaccination or microchip for another dog in their care, the agency told KSAT.
People at the scene of the gut-wrenching attack allegedly told police officers there had been other violent incidents involving the dog.
The nature of these encounters remain unclear, but ACS told San Antonio Express-News there have been no previous reports of biting from the pit bull.
No one has been arrested in connection to Lyke’s death. ACS said they ‘will continue to work closely with other law enforcement as the investigation moves forward.’
Lyke’s mother, Suzzette Lyke, has spoken out about her daughter’s horrifying death on social media.

‘This is My Daughter Simone that was mauled but [sic] her boyfriends dog the chicken s*** [boyfriend’s name] told the police it was hers pray for my daughter she is in critical condition,’ Suzzette wrote on July 24 before Lyke passed away.
It is unclear if the second owner identified by ACS was Lyke’s boyfriend or not. Regardless, the agency did determine she was one of the owners.

‘The love of my love is in Heaven with her family. Rest, my beautiful daughter, to be absent in the body, now you are present with the lord,’ Suzzette wrote after Lyke’s passing….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
