An Oklahoma City family is heartbroken after losing their beloved 18-month-old twins, Locklyn and Loreli, in a tragic accident that has shaken their community. The twins drowned in the family pool after their great-grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, unknowingly left the back door open, allowing the toddlers to wander outside unnoticed.
Jenny Callazzo, a 37-year-old stay-at-home mom and boutique owner, made the heartbreaking discovery on a Thursday morning when she found her precious children unconscious in the pool. Despite immediate and desperate attempts by paramedics to save them, Locklyn and Loreli were pronounced dead two hours later, leaving their family devastated beyond words.
Jenny and her husband Sonny, a 42-year-old marketing executive, share their $565,000 home with six children and Jenny’s grandmother. According to family members, the great-grandmother’s accidental oversight created the tragic opportunity for the twins to escape the safety of the home and fall victim to the pool’s dangers.
Aerial footage of the property revealed a pool covered in algae, underscoring the hidden risks that can lurk in home environments. Authorities are investigating the incident but have found no evidence of foul play.
In the days leading up to the tragedy, Jenny shared joyful photos of Locklyn and Loreli playing outdoors — innocent moments that now carry a heartbreaking weight. Neighbors recall the distressing scene as paramedics worked urgently to revive the twins while Jenny was comforted and transported in an EMS vehicle.
The community has rallied around the family, setting up a GoFundMe page to assist with the unexpected financial burdens that often follow such a devastating loss.
Laura Gamino, an injury prevention coordinator at OU Health, highlighted the dangers pools pose to young children and stressed the urgent need for safety measures such as four-foot fences with secure gates to prevent similar tragedies.
As friends, family, and neighbors mourn the loss of Locklyn and Loreli, their story serves as a poignant and urgent reminder of the fragility of life and the critical importance of constant vigilance when it comes to child safety around water.
