Arrest Warrants Issued For Suspect In Canton Double Homicide

CANTON, GA -- Arrest warrants have been issued for a 17-year-old male in connection to last month's shooting that left two people dead and another person injured in a neighborhood just outside downtown Canton. Detectives with the Canton Police Department are searching for Dallas resident Akilee Zakee Wilson, and have charged him with two counts each of felony murder and aggravated assault, the agency said Tuesday evening.

The police department said Wilson's whereabouts are unknown at this time, and anyone with information about his location is asked to call 9-1-1 "because he is considered armed and dangerous."

A total of four people have been arrested in connection to the case: Jeremy Ulysses Zellous, 29, who is charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, making false statements and tampering with evidence; Temarlos Marquarous Turner, 22, and 23-year-old Brody Austin Samples, who are each facing two counts each of felony murder and aggravated assault; and 35-year-old Joseph C. Goldback Jr. of Jasper, who is charged with obstruction of an officer.

The June 25 shooting along Crisler Street near Jefferson Circle resulted in the deaths of William Kendrick Randall, 23, of Canton and 26-year-old Tony Samples of Ball Ground. Canton police have previously said the shooting was not a random act and took place following an altercation between two opposing groups.

The exact motive in the case remains unknown, however, and officers continue to patrol the area "in an effort to ensure the safety and security of the neighborhood’s residents and those who attend the three churches in the community," the police department previously said.

Anyone with additional details about the shooting is asked to call 9-1-1 or the department's main number at 770-720-4883.
