Authorities say five people are facing charges in connection with the death of a five-year-old girl in Newberry County.

Newberry Police said the incident happened at an apartment complex on Drayton Street in August, leaving 5-year-old Aniyah Williams dead. An obituary on the F.B. Pratt and Son Funeral Home website said she died on Aug. 6.

Weeks later, authorities have confirmed multiple arrests.

Newberry Police didn’t confirm the child’s cause of death, who was arrested, or what charges they are facing.

Neighbors like David Lindsay, who lives near the Indian Hills apartment complex, said he remembers hearing sirens that day.

“Police, firetrucks, EMTs, a lot it was a lot,” he said. “That particular day, I was at the house watching T.V., then I heard siren after siren after siren. The whole complex knew something was wrong.”

“It’s a friendly complex; no violence, no fights, ain’t nothing like that,” he said.

Lindsay said he feels for Aniyah and her extended family.

“She didn’t get to live her life. I’m sorry for the little baby, because she ain’t deserve that,” he said.

Newberry Police said the investigation is ongoing.
