The shooting happened at Deer Run Apartments on Lucas Road in Cochran just after midnight on July 18 when deputies found 2-year-old Yasir Satterwhite shot and killed.
4-year-old Tamir Satterwhite was also shot and transported to Atrium Health Navicent in Macon to undergo surgery.
In the release, Bleckley County Sheriff Kris Coody said, “This investigation took a tremendous amount of dedication from all agencies and I greatly appreciate everyone who assisted the Sheriff’s Office in this case.”
The sheriff's office does believe this was a retaliatory in response to another earlier shooting, but would not say if the boys’ family is connected to the earlier shooting and the apartment was targeted.
This case is still under investigation. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is providing assistance.
