JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 The family of a young boy who was shot and killed Sunday during a dispute at a Westside apartment complex<\/a> said he was the \u201chappiest baby\u201d and his death has left them in shock and in \u201cdeep sadness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family spoke to News4JAX on Monday and shared photos and videos of A\u2019mahri Robinson.<\/p>\n

The family was not ready to speak to News4JAX on camera, but an online fundraiser created by Robinson\u2019s aunt<\/a> said he was \u201clovable, and always bringing joy to everyone around him.\u201d<\/p>\n

JSO investigators said just before midnight, officers responded to the Valencia Way Apartments, formerly Eureka Gardens, on Labelle Street.<\/p>\n

They said they found the 2-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound, and he died at the hospital.<\/p>\n

According to police, the incident began as a domestic dispute between adults in the home, and during the argument, a gun went off. No other details were released. <\/p>\n

After the shooting, one of the adults involved ran from the scene and police are still looking for that person. They would not share a description or say if the person was the shooter.<\/p>\n

Police said they are working to confirm the identity of the person they\u2019re looking for. Once they do, they will release a photo and information about the person.<\/p>\n

Two other children under the age of 10 were in the home at the time of the shooting but were not injured. According to the GoFundMe, Robinson left behind an older sister and an older brother. <\/p>\n

Police said everyone who was still at the apartment when police arrived is cooperating with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about Sunday\u2019s incident is asked to call JSO at 904-630-0500.<\/p>\n

The family will now begin the heartbreaking task of making funeral arrangements to honor Robinson\u2019s memory, and said any money raised will go toward his memorial services. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate your love, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Thank you for standing with us,\u201d the fundraiser states. \u201cThank you for keeping A\u2019mahri and our family in your thoughts during this very sad moment. Your kindness and support mean more than words can say.\u201d<\/p>\n
