The fourth suspect wanted in connection with the March 8th shooting that killed a three-year-old Athens child has been arrested.
Athens-Clarke County police say Dakious Echols was arrested Friday in Brooklyn, New York, in a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement operation.
Echols is charged with two counts of murder (malice and felony murder), four counts of aggravated assault, and violation of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. He also faces a federal charge for unlawful flight.
Three other suspects remain in custody in connection to the fatal shooting of Kyron Zarco. Zarco was killed, and his 9-year-old brother was injured when bullets flew into their home and struck them as they sat watching television. The shooting took place at the Hallmark Mobile Home Park off Spring Valley Road in Athens.
Police say this is an ongoing investigation. They ask anyone with information to contact Sergeant Scott Black at 762-400-7058 or [email protected].
