The 17-year-old Georgia brother of a man killed in a late-night shooting last month at a Gwinnett County Applebee’s restaurant is now facing charges. Police are hoping someone knows where he is.

Yousaf Baysassie has outstanding warrants for felony murder and aggravated assault.

Meanwhile, the two teens previously arrested have had their felony murder and aggravated assault charges dropped. 17-year-old Tristyn Derriun Mays and 19-year-old Nyzerrius Carter still face tampering with evidence. Additionally, Mays faces charges of possession of a firearm by a person under 18. Both remain in the Gwinnett County Jail.

Gwinnett County police say the deadly shots were fired shortly before 10:30 p.m. on July 17 outside the restaurant on the 5200 block of Stone Mountain Parkway in unincorporated Stone Mountain.

Officers arriving at the scene found 21-year-old Harris Baysassie of Lilburn lying in the parking lot between the Applebee’s and a nearby O’Reilly Auto Parts.

Medics rushed him to a local hospital for treatment, but he did not survive his injuries.

A search is underway for the person who opened fire in an Applebee’s parking lot, killing one person. It happened on Stone Mountain Highway.

Investigators have not released a motive in the deadly shooting.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Baysassie is asked to call Gwinnett County Police or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
