The garden, located at the Durant Children's Center on North Salem Avenue, was presented to their mother, Aletha Holliday, for the first time Friday morning along with a portrait of the siblings.
The children and two adults were killed during a domestic-related shooting in March 2023.

The Kid is just a little off, hope he gets the mental attention he needs.
The fact that COUNTLESS teens go missing and are never found or turn up dead is what makes this disgusting. N it's not always the parents. Some kids just dgaf. Then it's the parents fault for not handling it. Throw she ass in DJJ!

GET ONE. IT'S FREE! Got a Hyundai or Kia? You need one of these, Det. T. Arroyo says.
To help you protect your vehicle from theft, free steering wheel locks are available at Sumter PD. If you own a Hyundai or Kia, models from 2011 to 2021, call 803-436-2717, to schedule a time to pick one up visit us at 335 N. Lafayette Drive.
In an effort to reduce automobile thefts, Sumter PD partnered with Hyundai to provide these FREE locks as a service to the community.
Auto thefts and break-ins are a major concern in our community and across the country with Hyundai and Kia models being a prime target for thieves.
This year, from Jan. 1 through the morning of April 22, 62 vehicles were reported stolen in the city of Sumter. More than half were Hyundai and Kia models.
Hyundai and Kia also account for the majority of attempted thefts to date. Thirty-two attempted thefts involved Hyundai and Kia models.
We continue to urge drivers to NEVER leave their keys and key fobs inside their vehicle and to promptly remove their belongings, especially firearms.
For more information, contact the Sumter Police Department at 803-436-2700. Any unusual activity should be reported immediately or as soon as possible by dialing 911. Our E-911 Center telecommunicators can assist you.

I have ‘99 Taurus, I’m fairly worried about… 😂😂

The lock is worth more than the car!!! 😂
Mine was one of the 62 stolen!
I have a 2016 Hyundai Sonata
My niece has a Kia and it’s been stolen twice! She now has one of these devices.

TRAFFIC ALERT: Westbound traffic on a portion of Broad Street is closed as officers respond to a vehicle incident involving a snapped power pole.

Appreciate the alert. I was just going to head that way.
Please get an officer to Pike Road by Sign Wave to direct traffic from Broad and the School over flow. This is a mess.
Should have used the first mall entrance at the light to detour. Let the school go one way the other the other way by Belk. This is a mess
Two snapped poles in just as many days. Would love to hear what the determined cause was
Has it been repaired yet?
Yo brother there's a GS on May 4&5. American Legion Fairgrounds .
