ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) - Police are searching for a man who they say fatally shot two people and wounded two others in St. Augustine.

St. Johns County Sheriff's officials say they're looking for 36-year-old Johnny Lawrence Williams Jr. as a suspect in the shootings on Tuesday.

Authorities say shootings occurred at two different locations on the city's west side, leaving 24-year-old Jamie Wilson and 18-year-old Keiwuan Murray dead.

Sheriff David Shoar told the St. Augustine Record (http://bit.ly/1UIjnM6 ) that investigators believe Wilson was holding a small child when she was shot, and that the child was dropped.

The child was sent to the hospital as a precaution.

Police say they found a car being driven by Williams Jr. in Duval County and have obtained an arrest warrant.
