The gunfire that tore through a converted garage echoed across a Compton neighborhood.
Then a woman screamed: “They shot my baby.”
The father begged for help for the daughter who lay limp in his arms. Sheriff's deputies rushed the girl with the head wound to the hospital, where doctors announced the cruel finale.
They believe Autumn's father, Darrell Johnson, may have been the target of the attack.
Lt. John Corina said that Johnson, 24, was an admitted member of a local street gang.
