Two more suspects, including a 16-year-old, have been arrested for murder in the March 5 shooting that killed an Athens man.
X’Zydric Faust was taken into custody Wednesday in Pinellas County, Florida. Faust is charged as an adult with murder in the death of 24-year-old Ja’Vanni McDavid.
McDavid was fatally wounded in the early morning shooting on Northview Drive.
Faust is the third suspect to be arrested in the case.
On March 17, the Athens-Clarke County Police Department arrested Jaden Appling, 20, of Athens, and charged him with murder.
Anthony Brown was arrested the morning of the incident and charged with aggravated assault. McDavid initially survived the shooting but later died from his injuries. Police upgraded the charges against Brown to murder.
Brown and Appling are both being held in the Clarke County Jail without bond. As of March 31, Faust remained in Pinellas County awaiting extradition to Georgia.
