A witness, JaMarcus Bullard, told CNN affiliate Spectrum News 13 he earlier saw an alligator with a body its mouth.

"I could tell there was a body in his mouth, so I started recording," Bullard said.

Officials humanely killed In the the 13-foot, 8.5-inch male, according to the sheriff's office and Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Alligators have been spotted in the area before, but resident Jennifer Dean told Spectrum News 13 that she had never seen one this large.

"A lot of my neighbors were out here and they're the ones that told me about the gator," Dean said. "While we were standing here we heard a shot. I assume they killed the gator."
