DeKalb County police are looking for a second person in connection with the June 7 shooting death of a teenager on Interstate 20.
James Gamble is wanted on charges of felony murder and aggravated assault, DeKalb police spokeswoman Shiera Campbell said Thursday. Officials believe he may be hiding in South Florida.
Jonathan Williams, 19, of Villa Rica, was shot in his car about 5:30 p.m. June 7, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.

The medical examiner’s investigation revealed Williams “died as a result of a gunshot that came from inside his vehicle and would have been fired by the front seat passenger,” DeKalb County police spokesman Maj. Stephen Fore said.
That passenger, Terrance Elane, left the scene of the shooting, Fore said. Elane, one of Williams' friends, was arrested June 11 on multiple charges, including felony murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Fore said.
“Elane was in the passenger seat, shooting over his friend, and struck him in the head,” Campbell said. “Gamble was in the other vehicle that was firing at the deceased and Elane.”
Anyone with information about Gamble’s whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta. Tipsters can remain anonymous — and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000 — by calling 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting crimestoppersatlanta.org.
