Police are still looking for a man last seen wearing baggy pants and a hoodie.

They believe he's the shooter, but they won't say if they know who he is.

Shakema's aunt says her 2-year-old daughter Korri, who was shot multiple times, is recovering and walking again. She says the family is still waiting for answers from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff David Davis says those threads have led investigators to believe a personal conflict caused the shooting.

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office initially believed 19-year-old Darrell Solomon was the suspect after he was seen running from the home with an AR-15.

They say evidence shows another weapon a 9mm handgun was also fired inside of the home.

"These individuals are known to each other in some form or fashion, so that's where you start pulling the threads," said Davis. 

Sheriff Davis says those threads have led investigators to believe a personal conflict caused the shooting.

"Whether the gangs had anything to do with the killing still remains to be seen," said Davis. 

He says they believe some kind of conflict among the adults inside the home led to the shooting. This case is still under active investigation and they're continuing to follow leads. He says this is a hard case to pin down.. 

"Some of these cases where they are known to each other are harder to figure out than where they are unknown to each other because you have a situation where the suspect knows the victim -- well, the victim's people know who the suspect is and they want to take out some street justice down the road," said Davis.
