Erica Kiana Caldwell

Age 18

Walterboro, South Carolina

She’s without her Lilo & Stitch

Her favorite movie was “Lilo & Stitch.” In fact, her high school graduation cap was decorated with a quote from the movie, “Aloha-oe, until we meet again.”

She devoted her time to religion and family, attending church for many years. She loved spending time at the Edisto River with her friends. One friend remarked, “I’ll never forget the smile we put on each other’s faces.”

On March 28, 2018, Erica Kiana Caldwell, 18, was shot three times in Walterboro, South Carolina. She would have graduated from Colleton County High School in June.
