Depends on how someone was wicked. There are a lot of words that fit.
Malus - general all-purpose word for bad, evil, wicked.
Maleficius - criminal, harmful, injurious
Nefarius - offending morals, foul, vile
Pravus - perverse, wrong, vicious
Impius - impious, irreverent
Improbus - morally unsound, greedy, rude, shameless.

The source for this is Isaiah. In the Vulgate Bible, it is 'Non est pax impiis.' That translates to "There is no peace for the wicked.' The word 'pax' was sometimes used in Latin literature to mean 'rest.' if you want to specifically say 'rest,' use: Non est quies impiis.

nequam - bad/worthless
nequam has the advantage? of being indeclinable, and it applies to people and objects both.
malus means bad, in the sense of morally bad, so is probably closer to wicked, assuming you mean wicked in this sense, and not in the slang sense of ' that's really cool'.

nefandus,
impius,
improbus
malus
are all Latin adjectives meaning "wicked"
These are all male forms, to get female or neuter you have to substitute "-a" (female) or "-um" (neuter) for "-us"
