GBI agent J.T. Ricketson told a news conference evidence shows all gunshots in the slayings were fired from Merrell’s rifle. Ricketson says Merrell also shot and wounded a 17-year-old girl in Adams’ yard who later spoke to investigators.
Investigators say the slain toddler was not related to Adams, but belonged to the girlfriend of Adams’ son.
