By: Lynnel H. Bott, Your Black WorldA senseless, ambush-style shooting off of Highway 76 in the Cherryvale community of Sumter, South Carolina has left a woman and her unborn baby dead.
Sheriff’s deputies arrived after neighbors reported gunshots late Wednesday just before midnight. The front windows of a mobile home had been shattered by gunfire.
According to the Sumter County Sherriff’s office, four people were shot in the home around 11:30 p.m., including 18-year-old Kiana Moore. All the victims were transported to Tuomey Regional Medical Center where Ms. Moore and her unborn child died.
The three wounded in the shooting, included David Acoff, 20, Ebony Canty, 27, and her 2-year-old son. Canty was released from the hospital but Acoff and the 2-year-old are both listed in serious but stable condition after both undergoing surgery.
Deputies said that two other children under 3-years-of-age were also present the time of the shooting but were unharmed. One man was taken into custody at the scene, but charges related to the incident have yet to be filed.

that is so sad i had to cry
It'll probably come back as drug-related, black men involved in these types of violent and self-destructive acts are weakening us as a people.
Very sad story indeed, but I think it's premature to blame "black men" and this being drug related.
Particularly when no other officials are making this big leap.
Catch and punish the killerss
I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE GREEN, PLEASE CATCH THEM AND PUT THEM AWAY. THEY'LL GET WHIPPED WHEN THEY GO TO JAIL, HOPEFULLY FOR LIFE!
Very sad, I hope who ever it was that committed this awful crime, be caught and punushed by law to the fullest.
It actually wasnt. What is more disappointing is that your world is so small...everything relates to drugs. If it were your children, and they didnt want to be someone and that person wouldn't accept it.. would drugs be involved then? Or if your significant other decided he felt like killing you..would we find a drug relation there? People like you are weakening to yourself. Don't speak for everyone when no one will speak for you.
