Bigstock images For the past eight months, a lone coyote has been attributed to five DNA confirmed attacks within Lafayette and Moraga which have taken place primarily at dusk or dawn. The first attack, on July 9, 2020, involved a 2-year-old boy near the parking lot restrooms at the Moraga Commons Park. A second attack, on Dec. 4, took place at the Campolindo High School stadium where a man was bitten while exercising. Another attack came on Dec. 15 behind Lafayette s Diablo Foods while an employee was taking a break. The next incident occurred on Feb. 16 when a 3-year-old girl was bitten during a walk with her mother two blocks away from Campolindo on Calle La Montana. The most recent attack on an adult male came Feb. 19 near the Kwik Stop in Lafayette.

LAMORINDA, CA Another coyote biting was reported Friday in the Lafayette-Moraga, police from the two cities said. The latest case involved a man who was bitten across from the Kwik Stop convenience store on Golden Gate Way in Lafayette.
The man was interviewed by Contra Costa Animal Services and his clothing was collected for DNA testing, which showed that it was the same coyote responsible for the other four biting incidents, officials said in a news release.
