AUGUSTA, Ga.---A juvenile has been arrested and charged with murder in the weekend shooting death of David Reader.

Richmond County investigators tell News 12 that 16-year-old Tyreese Finey was arrested and charged with murder Tuesday afternoon. He is being charged as an adult.

Investigators are still looking for Anthony Joe, Jr., who is the second suspect in the shooting.

Reader was found dead in his car early Sunday morning near the East Augusta Commons apartments. An autopsy showed he had been shot multiple times in the chest.

Investigators say it appeared to be a drug deal that went bad. There is a reward for information on Joe.

Reader was an Augusta Symphony Cellist. He was 26 years old and grew up in Kansas.
