TYLER — Authorities have arrested two men wanted in connection with a Tyler murder six years ago — one of whom was also wanted in a shooting six days ago. Surrendering to Longview authorities Monday afternoon were Terrance Wideman, 24, of Jacksonville and Bryante Denard Gee, 27, of Chapel Hill.
Investigators say Wideman was allegedly the a getaway driver in the homicide of Christopher Horn, 19. Horn was shot in the parking lot of Kureshe’s Mart at 1118 West Gentry Parkway the evening of April 7, 2005. Detectives say they also confirmed that Gee was the shooter in the incident.
Wideman was also said to have been involved in an incident in which gunfire erupted in the parking lot of Broadway Square Mall around 6:45 p.m. on May 11th. That aggravated assault case is still under investigation. It was during the investigation of that shooting that detectives were able to secure evidence implicating Wideman and Gee in the Horn murder. Both have been charged with first degree murder. Bond was set at $1,000,000 each by Judge Christi Kennedy.
