We are getting our first look at two beautiful young lives lost in a heartbreaking tragedy.
Six-year-old Sevani Stevenson and his little sister, 3-year-old Miyani Islar, have been remembered by family and friends as bright, joyful children who brought light to everyone around them.
Authorities say the siblings were found in a car on a hot Texas day and could not be saved. Their mother, Tiona Lasaisha Islar, told investigators she had fallen asleep and did not realize the children had gone outside and climbed into the car.
Police confirmed that the case is under investigation, and the mother has been arrested and faces charges related to the children’s deaths. Officials say the focus now is on understanding exactly what happened and preventing similar tragedies in the future.
Community members have gathered to honor Sevani and Miyani, sharing prayers, flowers, and heartfelt messages. Many say they want the children to be remembered not for the way their lives ended, but for the joy they brought during their short time on Earth.
