The child, Makenzie Hartry, died on Sept. 6 in a Lincoln Street apartment.

The Baldwin County Sheriff's Department is looking for the person or persons responsible for several vehicle break-ins and one stolen vehicle.

Captain Brad King told 13WMAZ that it happened Tuesday morning and they believe the break-ins and theft are connected.

King said, "It happened in the Allenwood subdivision and there was a report that in one of the vehicle break-ins someone stole a firearm. We later heard that shots were fired in the West End area around 5:30 this morning, and think that the shots came from the newly obtained weapon taken in the break-in."

Facebook comments landed a Baldwin County man in prison for five years.

On August 9, 2012, Steven Martin posted a comment on Facebook describing his "desires" to be famous, and felt the only way to accomplish this goal was to walk into an elementary school and shoot someone.

The threat did not name a specific name or location.

The Milledgeville Police Department was tipped off about the post and immediately arrested Martin.

Martin received the maximum sentence of 5 years, with the first two in confinement and the remainder on probation.

Fred Bright, the District Attorney for the Ocmulgee Judicial District, said the sentence sends a "no-tolerance" policy.
