Ledford said investigators believe the shootings stemmed from a robbery that turned violent after the three suspects were attempting to rob a third victim of marijuana.

Police say 3-year-old Liam Murray and 22-year-old Miranda Woods were killed Thursday. They said Jerroid Shippy was shot and remains hospitalized.
