Coyotes rarely attack humans, but some instances have occurred. Earlier this year, three children were reportedly bitten by a coyote at Parkway Central Park in Arlington, about 1.5 miles from Starr’s neighborhood. A coyote was captured and euthanized. In 2022, a 2-year-old boy was hospitalized after a coyote attack in Lake Highlands.
