Sabrina Peckham's daughter Breauna Dorris wrote a heartfelt note on GoFundMe, "Sabrina was loved by many, and we expected many more years with her. Our family is in shambles trying to cope with this kind of loss."
The suddenness of the incident has shocked Breauna Dorris. The family has not made any arrangements for the funeral due to financial constraints and hence has launched an initiative on the GoFundMe page. The 13-foot 8.5-inch male alligator was however shot down by officials.
Jennifer Dean, a local resident said, "A lot of my neighbors were out here, and they're the ones that told me about the gator. While we were standing here, we heard a shot. I assume they killed the gator.

This is not the first incident where an alligator has been found in the Tampa Bay Area. A 10-foot crocodile was found at the back of a Central Florida home in May this year.
