One more suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that left four men dead in a northwest Georgia park last year.
Andres Jared Guzman, 18, of Rome, is accused in the killing that took place Aug. 25 in Whitfield County‘s Pleasant Grove Park, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Guzman is charged with murder.
The victims were identified as Daniel Segura-Cruz, 17; Robert Valencia, 18; Joshua Pedro Pelico-Pelico, 19; and David Antonio Delgadillo, 21. The younger two were from Rome, while the others were from Dalton, according to the sheriff’s office.
A 16-year-old, whose name was not released, was arrested the day after the shooting on four counts of felony murder.
No new details have been released by officials. Previously, the sheriff’s office said they believed the shooting stemmed from a robbery.
At the time, they said a group traveled from Rome to meet the victims at the park, which is just north of Dalton, with the goal of obtaining an unspecified form of “contraband.” It was not clear if all of the victims were from one group.
Both groups arrived at the park armed, authorities said at the time. A shootout then broke out.
Officials said they did not believe the incident was gang-related.
Guzman was taken to the Whitfield County jail, where he remains without bond.
