LAUDERHILL, Fla. – A family was mourning the death of a 2-year-old boy who drowned in a pool in Lauderhill.
A relative identified the boy as Terrance Shellman III. Police said the toddler was pulled from the water at a home at 7315 NW 47th Place.
Lauderhill police gave the child CPR and he was taken to a local hospital. Police said doctors were unable to revive him.
The boy's grandmother told Local 10 News reporter Christian De La Rosa that the family was kicking off the holiday weekend early at the pool.

Neighbors said they are praying for the family.
"My heart goes out to them," Beverly Rowe said. "My heart goes out to them as a mother, grandmother."
