It's been three years since T’Yonna “Ya-Ya” Major was shot and killed in 2023. Loved ones say the “Ya-Ya Peace Walk” is not only a tribute to her life, but a call for unity in the community.

Nearly three years after 9-year-old T’Yonna “Ya Ya” Major was shot and killed in a shooting spree in Pine Hills, her family is pushing for a new statewide alert system aimed at protecting children during active and imminent threats.

A bill filed this week in Florida would bring a new emergency system to the state, dubbed a “Ya Ya Alert.”

On Saturday, the non-profit YaYa’s Dream will host a community clean-up in Parramore.

The uncle of an Orlando girl shot and killed last February met with county leaders on Wednesday to advocate for change.
