Two suspects wanted for the murder of a 3-year-old Athens boy are still on the run. On Thursday, police released photos of them.

Dakious Echols, 18, and Desmontrez Mathis, 22, both of Athens, are wanted in the March 8 shooting death of Kyron Zarco. The boy was fatally shot while watching television inside his home in what police believe was a gang-related shooting.

Two other suspects are in custody. All four are charged with malice murder, felony murder, four counts each of aggravated assault, and violating the state’s street gang act.

A $2,000 reward is being offered for their arrests.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Johnson at 762-400-7060 or email paul.johnson@accgov.com.
