The GBI released a photo of a second man sought in the shooting of a Savannah State University student last month.
He’s wanted in connection with the May 7 shooting, which happened in the afternoon near the University Commons building, according to the GBI. University police called the GBI to help with the investigation.
The next day, De’Ante Lamont Scott was arrested and charged with aggravated assault in the shooting, AJC.com previously reported. The injured student was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover.

Scott was not a student at the school, the GBI said. It’s unclear whether the second suspect is a student. The cause of the shooting is unclear and the case is still being investigated.
The incident follows two fatal shootings that have happened on Savannah State’s campus within the past five years.
