Investigators say Dickson and 19-year-old Darrell Solomon got into an argument and he fired shots at her and her toddler. They say Dickson was trying to protect her daughter when she was shot.

Bibb Coroner Leon Jones says Shakema Dickson died just after 3 pm. Thursday. Police were called to the emergency room because the lobby is packed with Dickson's family.
