The sheriff's office said deputies responding to a call in the 3500 block of London Church Road found a man dead at the scene and two women who had gunshot wounds.

The female gunshot victims were taken to a hospital.

The sheriff's office said Horne was then seen leaving the area in a black Buick with a female passenger and an 8-month-old baby.
