A Tri-Cities woman died Thursday after she was reportedly mauled by two pitbulls, including one that ran into her home on West Victoria Avenue in an unincorporated Kennewick neighborhood. Billene Billi Cameron, 65, died of complications related to surgery at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland after she was mauled the day before, Wednesday Sept. 20. She and her husband, Dwayne Woodard, are well known business owners. They and their son, Jackson, established Woodys BullPen Bar & Grille at the former Billys Bull Pen Tavern in Kennewick in 2018. The pitbulls first attacked her pug on Wednesday, but Cameron was able to get her dog away from them as she also was attacked, according to information posted by her cousin Vern Lampman Jr. on his Facebook page. A neighbor behind her property saw the attack and climbed over the six-foot fence, falling into Camerons yard, according to Lampman. The neighbor used his cane to beat one of the pitbulls, allowing Cameron to escape into her house.

But the other pitbull followed her into the house and continued the attack on her, Lampman said. The neighbor followed her into the house and was able to get the pitbull away from her using a shovel he had grabbed, he said. She then managed to get into her bathroom, close the door and called 911, Lampman posted. Benton County Sheriffs deputies were in the area and arrived quickly to contain the pitbulls and Cameron was taken to a hospital. She passed away shortly after midnight on Thursday after two surgeries, he said. The attack happened about 2 p.m. Wednesday. The pitbulls are being held by Benton County and owner of the dogs has been identified, said Benton County Sheriffs Detective Sgt. Horacio Gonzalez. An investigation is ongoing and no arrests had been made as of Friday, he said.
