A Life Stolen: Remembering Kalielah Davis

With deep sorrow, the community mourns the tragic death of Kalielah Davis, an 18-year-old young woman whose bright future was senselessly cut short on the night of September 5, 2025. Kalielah was known for her kindness, her laughter, and the promise of a life just beginning. Her sudden passing has shaken family, friends, and the entire community to its core, leaving behind pain, unanswered questions, and a silence where her voice used to be.
