UPDATE: RCSO ASSISTS FBI IN ARRESTING MURDER SUSPECT
Richmond County authorities, in collaboration with the FBI, assisted in the arrest of a murder suspect from Athens on Thursday. Desmontrez Mathis was apprehended in Augusta as part of a coordinated effort involving multiple law enforcement agencies, as confirmed by the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.
Mathis faces a series of serious charges including malice murder, felony murder, four counts of aggravated assault, and violation of the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. Additionally, he is confronted with federal charges linked to unlawful flight.
The arrest stems from an incident on March 8, where two children, including a 3-year-old boy, and one adult were shot inside their residence at the Hallmark Mobile Home Park on Spring Valley Road in Athens, shortly after 5:30 p.m.
While watching television inside their residence, the victims were subjected to gunfire from a group outside. Among them was three-year-old Kyron Santino Zarco Smith, who tragically succumbed to his injuries.
Mathis mugshot is shown in the comment section, as well as the child victim.
