11-year-old Randez Brown of North Carolina jumped into a creek to try and save his 7-year old sister, Samiyah Brown. North Carolina’s WSOC TV reported that Randez died while attempting to save his sister’s life, and she is now listed as being in critical condition.
According to witnesses, there were 6 children between the ages of 6 and 11 playing in a creek behind a local middle school. It seems like the children went through a break in a fence and into a tunnel where they encountered deep water. When paramedics arrived, Rendez was already gone, and Samiyah was barely holding on.
The family’s Pastor, Barrington Johnson, tells reporters that the Brown children were at church weekly. The family’s church, One Way Baptist Church in Charlotte, N.C., is collecting donations on behalf of the family to help with funeral costs.
Our prayers are with the Brown family.
