A Fayetteville baby girl did not survive her injuries Tuesday evening after being hit by gunfire in a shooting on Bunce Road in which two men were killed, police said Wednesday.

According to the Fayetteville Police Department, shortly before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Terrance Jaiquann Melvin, 26, of the 1100 block of Bunce Road; Johnathan Alexander McMillian, 31, of the 3200 block of Sandhill Drive; and the 7-and-a-half-month-old child, whose name was not released, were all shot. The men were pronounced dead at the scene. The child died at the hospital, police said.
