Amanda Baker and her granddaughter Shelby Lynn Baker, who was 19, are the victims.

Charlie Baker —Shelby Lynn's father and Amanda's son — told WPTV in November that his daughter was pregnant.

"My daughter was just 19. She hadn't even begun to truly experience life," he said.

Neighbors told WPTV's Kayla McDermott that the home where the two women were killed has since been sold.
