The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission was looking for a boater who fled after fatally attacking a girl Saturday afternoon.

The girl was waterskiing around 4:30 p.m. near Nixon Beach in Key Biscayne, Miami-Dade County, when the boat hit her. the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, or FWC, said in a social media update. She died from her injuries.
