Ashley Smith, 26, and Timothy Hartford Jr., 38, were in an SUV with a 6-month old infant and they're all okay, according to police.

Investigators say the pair was involved in the Thursday shooting deaths of a 64-year-old man and a 77-year-old woman delivering a Meals on Wheels lunch to him at his home in Winston-Salem.

The volunteer's husband was wounded but survived

Police had no motive for the shootings.

Police wanted to talk to a man who they said was seen leaving the home's driveway in a gray or silver Ford Expedition.

That killing sparked a manhunt which spilled into Virginia when that SUV was spotted on the Interstate in Suffolk at 1:40 a.m.

Several State Trooper vehicles, with lights flashing, tried to stop the vehicle and stop spikes were deployed at one point, but the vehicle kept going.

The pursuit continued into Chesapeake, Portsmouth and then ended at the downtown Norfolk parking garage around 2:00 a.m.

Police asked people to avoid the area around MacArthur Center Mall as troopers, Norfolk Police and SWAT officers converged on the scene.

The infant is with Norfolk Social Services.

DEATH ROW​
A judge has sentenced Timothy Hartford to the death penalty, after nearly two full days of jury deliberation into the 2008 slaying of a man inside his home and one of two Meals-on-Wheels volunteers who was making a delivery.

The death sentence was for the shooting of Anne Magness, 77, who was delivering a Meals-on-Wheels lunch to the home of Bob Denning, 64. Hartford had beaten Denning to death in his home on April 24, 2008 not long before Magness was shot.

Superior Court Judge Stuart Albright affirmed the jury's recommendations that Hartford be sentence in Magness' killing and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in Denning's death.

Hartford beat Denning to death and then shot Anne and Bill Magness, who'd come to Denning’s house together for the deliver. Anne Magness was fatally shot in the back, and Bill Magness survived being shot six times.
