June 29 (UPI) -- Police and other authorities in Mississippi have started an extensive manhunt for those responsible for a "horrifying" crime scene involving two women and a toddler in Jackson, Miss.
"Detectives are working diligently to identify and locate those responsible for this horrific crime," police said in a social media post.
Police responding to a 911 call for aggravated assault Saturday night found the bodies of two women, 26 and 30, and a 2-year-old child, all of whom had been shot multiple times, CNN reported. One of the women was the toddler's mother.
"This is a heinous crime," Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney said, calling the killer "the vilest of human beings."
