Three people were shot in separate locations and a suspect was killed Saturday morning in Eufaula.

Once they arrived on the scene, police confirmed that a 2-year-old girl had been shot in the leg and Demarco Rhymes, 35, of Eufaula was named as a suspect.

According to reports, Rhymes left Level Acres after shooting the 2-year-old and went to Davis Street where he shot a 42-year-old female. He then allegedly proceeded to Norman Street where a 39-year-old man received multiple gunshot wounds.
