Today's story takes us to Milligville, Georgia. A town steeped in history. Once the proud capital of the state, now a quiet dot on the map. A southern community tucked into Baldwin County, home to about 17,000 people. Streets lined with oak trees and historic homes give the city a familiar, unhurried rhythm. 90 mi southeast of Atlanta, it's the kind of place where history lingers in the air and life moves slow. Porch lights flicker, neighbors wave. It's the kind of town where everyone knows your name or knows someone in your family. But on Harrisburg Road, that piece was shattered. The stillness of the night, pierced by gunfire, a sudden eruption of violence just after midnight. Multiple shots rang out, tearing through a small trailer park off Harrisburg Road. And tragically, the chaos did not pass without consequence. One of those bullets tore through the thin walls of a trailer and struck a 10-year-old boy asleep in his own bed. This is the Dearan story. A night of senseless violence. A tragedy that should have never happened. >> B County Sheriff's Office is Brown. >> Y'all need to bring y'all need to send some police out here at the top of Centilla Trap Park.

Okay. >> Yeah, just note. We just need something there. We can big enough we can write >> what's up >> names and stuff down on >> which is our house that got hit up inside the hospital. Emotions ran high. Detectives had just confirmed the unthinkable. 10-year-old Dearan was gone. His father, Chester Bird, who had full custody and raised his son alone, was pulled aside by doctors and investigators. They delivered the news no parent should ever hear. But grief didn't have time to settle. Moments later, Dearan's mother, Lynn Webb, walked through the hospital doors, and instead of comfort, she brought confrontation. In front of law enforcement and medical staff, she pointed the finger at Chester, accusing him of being the reason their son was dead. She claimed the violence stemmed from Chester's barberh shop dealings, that something in his world had gone sideways and come back to their doorstep. What should have been a moment of shared mourning unraveled into suspicion, rage, and blame right there in the very place they had just lost their child. And it didn't end there. In the hospital parking lot, emotions boiled over again. Detectives were forced to intervene, separating both sides before the confrontation could erupt any further. >> Listen, what the [ __ ] You just want a [ __ ] problem. You just want a [ __ ] problem. But I ain't going to be no problem. Y'all don't scare no [ __ ] body. [ __ ] you mean. Please stop. >> She just heard what I said. Totally [ __ ] wrong. Please. >> Come on. [ __ ] wrong. My mother, my baby [ __ ] >> step over here with me. >> She totally [ __ ] wrong. >> I said this is Mario [ __ ] mom [ __ ] got more sense than that. >> He want his mom got something to say cuz I want to be the grandma and Please [ __ ] stop. >> Everybody go to the hospital. Don't even make no sense. >> Then this my fault. I should have took my [ __ ] baby home. >> I should have told Yes, it is. I heard him think he had it handled that second time. This is my third child. I got sink keys. I don't supposed to be burying no [ __ ] baby. >> I don't supposed to be burying my baby. Oh god, this is my fault. I should have took it home. >> With the family separated and emotions have cooled off, detectives get to work. They pulled surveillance footage from the flock camera system. And there it was, a white Honda Accord caught leaving Harrisburg Road at 1:14 a.m. Just minutes after the gunfire, the license plate came back to a woman named Shamanica Reeves. Now, detectives had their first real lead. Why was her car fleeing the scene moments after the shooting, they raced to her address, and there it sat. The same white Honda parked in her driveway like nothing had happened. But something had, and now Shamanica Reeves had questions to answer. Detectives surrounded the home, guns holstered, radios crackling. Then they started pounding on the door. [Laughter] Sheriff's Office. >> Sheriff's Office.
