From the article:
SBM
MCSO identified the victims as Trevon Hall, 36; Skylar Hawn, 24; Jesse Dupree, 40; and Brandi Harris, 39.

“It appears that there were initially six people present at the residence,” said Sheriff Guy, “When a male suspect and a female suspect arrived after 8 a.m. There was some kind of dispute that took place between the female suspect and the male victim over a 10-month old whom they are the parents of. At some point, the dispute turned violent and the four victims were shot. One witness escaped and the other pretended to be injured and survived. The suspected then took the child and left the scene.“

I hope LE can find this couple quickly. I pray for the 10-month-old's safe rescue.

I guess they thought they could kill four people and then raise the kid themselves?

Happ ending for the baby

 

[Marg from Oz]

Absolutely senseless. They will now never see that baby again and 4 people lost their lives. How did they think they could get away with it? MOO

 

[Wild Rose]

Did they kill all the people that had a loving concern for the baby? That poor baby omg if most of the caring adults in the baby's life were annihilated by this pair.
