OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police have identified a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old girl and a woman and the wounding of three other women at a northwest Omaha apartment.

Omaha police said Monday that 23-year-old Dontevous Loyd is being sought on a warrant that lists two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and six weapons counts. No arrest has been reported. It’s unclear whether Loyd has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

Police say the five people were shot around 11 p.m. Sunday. Authorities say 2-year-old Kenacia Amerson-Straughn and 22-year-old Destacia Straughn were pronounced dead at the scene. Eighteen-year-old Jamie Latner, 21-year-old Larrion Williams and 22-year-old Kachelle Roby were taken to Omaha hospitals for treatment.
