Iris Hull, originally from Alabama, was shot shortly after midnight. No suspects have been arrested, although police believe Hull may have known her assailant. According to Savannah Police spokesman Bucky Burnsed, officers were called to Hull's apartment in the 300 block of Alice Street on a report that a woman was possibly being held at gunpoint. When they arrived, police found Hull with multiple gunshot wounds. She died before she could be treated for her injuries.
Police are unsure of a motive in the shooting.
There, the three had lunch, rode on the carousel and went shopping at the Disney store.

He is described as a black male in his early 20s, wearing baggy khaki pants with large side pockets.
