A jailed Georgia gang leader allegedly ordered the killing of an infant boy, according to reports this week, highlighting the state’s gang problem.

The baby was found dead in a bathtub. When police arrived at an Atlanta-area residence, they found four people with gunshot wounds in the upstairs master bedroom. Two women lay injured on the floor and another woman was in the bathroom with 9-month-old KenDarious Edwards Jr. Both were shot. The mother survived but KenDarious did not.

Georgia gang leader Kenneth Eric Jackson, who the DeKalb County District Attorney claims is the highest ranking member of the Sex Money Murder Bloods, was indicted on murder and other charges for his alleged role in the May 2014 shooting death of KenDarious. The Sex Money Murder gang is a subsidiary of the Bloods, which started in Los Angeles but has expanded across the United States.
