ST. PETERSBURG — Police said another man is in custody and charged with second-degree murder following a deadly shooting in downtown St. Petersburg on May 25.
Investigators arrested 36-year-old Matthew Williams who faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of Peter-Austin Afentakis. Jacob Carreras, 25, was already in custody on the same charge.
Shortly before 3 a.m. on May 25, Carreras and Williams got into a verbal dispute with Peter-Austin Afentakis in the 100 block of 1st Avenue North, according to the St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD).

Police issued a warrant for Carreras' arrest, and the U.S. Marshals Service took him into custody in Hillsborough County, SPPD said.
Carreras will be extradited to Pinellas County. Both Carreras and Williams face multiple charges.
