A shooting into a crowd outside a residence in Savannah on Friday night left a 20-year-old man dead and seven others injured, two critically.
Police said during a Saturday news conference that all other victims, including an 18-month-old infant, had non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to recover. Savannah police chief Roy Minter identified the man who died as Arthur Milton and said the shooting also injured two teens, 15 and 16.
The shooting also resulted in damage to three apartments and six vehicles. 
Police found at least 60 shell casings at the scene, where they say someone in a dark-colored or red sedan fired shots into a group of people outside of the residence.

Minter said Friday's shooting may be related to a previous incident at the same residence, which was damaged by 10 gunshots last Tuesday night.
"We don't think it was a coincidence," Minter said.
Police had not identified any suspects as of Saturday afternoon.
Minter made repeated pleas for people to come forward with information that might help with the ongoing investigation.
Other U.S. cities – including Chicago and Austin, Texas – also saw shootings with multiple victims late Friday into early Saturday, which marked the five-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.
