Police are looking for a 35-year-old man who relatives say shot and killed five of his family members during a Thanksgiving dinner. His youngest victim, 6-year-old MaKayla Sitton, is his cousin. The little girl was shot in her bed.
Makayla's father, Jim Sitton, owned the home in Jupiter, about 90 miles north of Miami.
"God packed a lot of sweetness into that little body," Mr Sitton said. "She's just our life. I don't know how we are ever going to recover."
The others killed were female relatives. 76-year-old Raymonde Joseph, the shooter's aunt, Carla Merhige and Lisa Knight, the shooter's 33-year-old twin sisters.
A fifth victim, Patrick Knight, was being treated at a hospital. He is the husband of Lisa Knight. Also injured was Clifford Gebara, who was grazed by a bullet.
Police have not yet discovered a motive for the massacre and say there was no altercation at the resident prior to the shooting.
The search for the shooter has expanded to Michigan, where police say Paul Michael Merhige once lived. He is believed to be driving a 4-door royal blue 2007 Toyota Camry with Florida license plate W42 7JT.
