Investigators say Perry was allegedly involved in a shooting that happened on the 300 block of Edgewood Avenue in Atlanta in the early morning hours of July 28, 2025.

According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers responded to reports of multiple people shot. At the scene, they found one unresponsive man who had been shot at least once. While investigating further, they discovered 10 others who had been injured.

Medics rushed the man to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Detectives believe three men and one woman approached a group who had gathered around a streetcar stop and opened fire, hitting multiple people.

Both Arnold and Williams are also charged with murder and 10 counts of aggravated assault.
