ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — The FBI is asking for help finding a third suspect in a deadly Atlanta mass shooting.

Ze’Kevious Zenard Perry, 24, is wanted for his alleged involvement in the shooting, which happened July 28, 2025, on Edgewood Avenue, along a popular strip of bars in the historic Sweet Auburn neighborhood.

Santos Wyatt, 27, died from his injuries, and 10 others — seven men and three women between the ages of 18 and 29 — were injured.

Perry’s alleged accomplices have already been arrested.

Nearly two weeks after the shooting, police announced the arrest of 19-year-old Rico Arnold on charges of murder and 10 counts of aggravated assault.

On Tuesday, the FBI’s Atlanta field office announced the arrest of Nasir Williams on the same charges.

Perry has also been charged with murder and 10 counts of aggravated assault in the shooting.

The FBI says Perry is considered armed and dangerous.

Perry is 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and 180 pounds. He has ties to the New York City area, where he may currently be.

Anyone with information on the case should call the FBI’s toll-free tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Tipsters can also contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or visit www.stopcrimeATL.com.

Soon after the first arrest in the case, police said investigators believed the shooting was the result of a fight, and that they were looking for three other suspects — two men and one woman. Recently, however, authorities have not said they were searching for a fourth suspect.
