Investigators say a third man showed up to Gwinnett Medical Center later that day. He was later identified as Julius Dennis, 20.

Deputies have now arrested Amin Ya-Sin, 21, and charged him with murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of marijuana. It is unclear if Ya-Sin is the 21-year-old who was injured in the shooting.

Ya-Sin’s girlfriend, 18-year-old Eva Simmons, and her mother, 46-year-old Kristiana Simmons, were both arrested Friday morning and charged with tampering with evidence.
