Investigators said there is a good chance nearly a dozen shootings in DeKalb County this weekend are connected.
During a home invasion Saturday night, a 9-month-old baby was killed.
Investigators told Channel 2's Ryan Young the shootings may have all started with a murder earlier this month.
Its complicated, said DeKalb Police Chief Cedric Alexander. Its insane. Its insane.
Officers are going door-to-door on Lani Farm Road looking for clues.
This is a neighborhood. This is a community. So if someone could come into a home, shoot four people then they are just gone, they just get away with it, neighbor Candice Carter.
Three women were shot during the home invasion and a baby boy was killed. Police said the gunmen hunted them down before opening fire.
Masked gunman came into the home. The three women took the baby, ran upstairs, tried to lock themselves in the upstairs bathroom. The gunmen kicked the door open and commenced firing, Alexander said.
The victims names were not released. The women are 36, 23, and 21, police said. The 21-year-old is thought to have been the babys mother.
Detectives said at least five weekend shootings were connected. But the fight that started the crimes happened with a murder
on May 3 when 29-year-old Michael Phillips was shot and killed during a party.
Police arrested 18-year-old Kemontay Cullins in the shooting.
Detectives now said they are looking for 16-year-old Cutrez Johnson and 19-year-old Oslushla Smith. Both are wanted for murder and are considered armed and dangerous.
Alexander said the home invasion came about five hours after authorities got an anonymous call saying that a womans body could be found on Agape Way in DeKalb. That body turned out to be Alexis Malone, 19, who police said witnessed the May 3 killing. They are also looking for another possible witness to the fatal shooting.
We still have a lot of work to do in particularly identifying the shooter or shooters, Alexander said.
Detectives also want to talk with Kayla Dixon. They said she may have information they need.
Police said they do not know if a drive-by shooting Saturday evening that left two men dead and three other people wounded is connected. That case happened around 7 p.m. on Shamrock Drive, south of Decatur, where a car followed another car and then occupants of the trail vehicle opened fire.
One man and two women were also wounded in that attack. No names have been released in that case.
Police need your help in closing this case. You can call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477). You don't have to give your name, you could be eligible for a reward.

Meet the suspects who allegedly killed a 9 month old baby. Get that street cred.
If 0bama had a son ...
I'm sure, AND they love their grandmas.
Give ‘em the Toby treatment!
What planet are they from?
Planet EBT is my guess.
They are from planet GA 4th Kongressional District, whose current representative Hank Johnson was worried that adding Navy personnel to the island Guam would cause it to capsize. He is a good representative of the intelligence and attitudes of majority of the voters in his district.
Might have been inspired by the Top 60 Ghetto Black Names on YouTube.

Drug deal vendetta? Wiping out the entire family as a result of “a quality assurance issue”? That’s the only thing at comes to mind. I only say it because I can’t process the thought that it would be “random” to blow away women and babies.
Incorrect: This is a neighborhood. This is a community.”
Correct: This is a BAD neighborhood. This is a BAD community.
Oh go on! You’re making that up! (I believe you, I just don’t want to believe it).
Anyone remember where that article is that states that something like 80% of all gun violence is black-on-black, and when you remove those stats actual gun violence in the rest of the nation is extremely low?
‘”The three women took the baby, ran upstairs, tried to lock themselves in the upstairs bathroom. The gunmen kicked the door open and commenced firing,’
Doors aren’t the barrier some people believe them to be.
Ya' think?
This happened in GA's 4th Kongressional district specially drawn to be a black democrat safe seat. With that you get the urban thug culture (and the incomparable Hank Johnson who will give Sheila Jackson Lee a run for her money in the ignorance department)
The police think it may be retaliation for an earlier murder. One thing is that sooner or later these scumbags will get caught and the sordid truth will be known.
BTW I now live in a sane South Dakota, but I have lived in the land of Franken, Traficant and Kucinich. Idiocy apparently has no color or religious barrier.
