Arrest warrants indicateย Kariuki is accused of buying the murder weapon, a .38-caliber handgun, and then selling it to the shooting suspect, a 15-year-old who was not named for being a juvenile.

Kariuki also allegedly droveย the other suspects to the scene of the crime.

Maria Mungai, 18,ย is charged with helping the suspects escape and hide after the shooting.

A warrant said Hernandez-Ortiz helped in the plan and execution of the armed robbery.

Thomas, a warrant said, distracted Perez while another suspect came up to the truck and shot and killed the man.

After the shooting, Perez was rushed to the WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he was declared brain dead.

โ€œItโ€™s just sad because he was just taking his brother to a job interview literally that morning,โ€ his sister-in-law, Lucia Gonzalez, told a local news channel.

Perez was taken off life support and died on March 27.

His family was inconsolable as they wondered why he was shot.

They saidย the week before his shooting they were at Perezโ€™s 1-year-old sonโ€™s baptism. He has two other children, the oldest a 4-year-old girl. He had alsoย recently purchased the truck he was shot in to start his landscaping business.

โ€œTheyโ€™re cowards for doing this, especially the way they did it.โ€

The suspects are being held without bail.
