The Riverside County Department of Animal Services has released photos of the two dogs detained after a deadly attack Tuesday morning in North Shore.

A man and woman were attacked by at least two dogs near Seagull Drive and Dolphin Drive at 6:15 a.m. The sheriff's department was on scene investigating and the two dogs were detained.

Deputies arrived to find the man deceased in the front yard of a home located at 70670 Seagull Drive.  The Riverside County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 65-year-old Emilio Rios.

His family spoke to KESQ and CBS Local 2 Tuesday afternoon. Emilio's son Jorge Rios told us his dad was a retired gardener and he regularly helped his neighbors with their laws and gardens. His dad apparently went over to water his neighbor's plants early on Tuesday when he was attacked by the dogs.

Neighbors noticed the water from the hose running and discovered his body, according to his family.

They called police, and while officers were investigating, they heard a woman crying for help as she was being attacked by two dogs nearby, according to the sheriff's release.

The lights and sirens from the responding patrol car scared the dogs away and an ambulance took the woman to the hospital where she's being treated for major injuries, officials said.

Deputies and Riverside County Animal Control officers searched for the dogs and found them at a nearby residence. Both dogs were captured. One of them was extremely aggressive toward animal control officers and had to be tranquilized, according to the sheriff's department.

The two dogs have been impounded at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Thousand Palms while the investigation continues.

"Animal services should come more often because there is a couple of dogs that look mean and they like to hurt people," said Leonel Pareds of North Shore.

Officials haven't elaborated on the breeds of the dogs involved in the attack at this time and they haven't said anything about the owners as the investigation continues.

The victim's son Jorge said the dogs had scratches on their faces as if they were used for fighting.

Riverside County Animal Services only has one officer to patrol all the unincorporated areas of the county. Two or three times a year a group of officers will sweep the Salton Sea and Mecca area. Usually they capture about 20 dogs.

"We have issues with dogs coming in during certain times of the year usually migrant workers will come in and they will bring is dogs in and once the crop is harvested that group of people will leave and we will see an influx of animals at that time," said Frank Corvino, deputy director with Riverside County Animal Services.
