From Marion County Sheriff David McKnight
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office has made one arrest in a homicide that occurred in the early morning hours of December 23rd, with another fugitive still at large.
Jennie Lynn Paredes, 20, surrendered at the Marion County jail on December 30th. She was arraigned before Judge Lena Pope, who set her bond at $1 million on a charge of Murder.
Another suspect, Garry Wayne Craver, 22, has an outstanding Marion County warrant for Murder in relation to this incident.
Craver and Paredes are alleged to have been involved in a dispute with Charles Hickman, 39, at his residence on Martinique Street in the Holiday Harbor area of western Marion County. After receiving numerous 911 calls, deputies arrived to find Hickman deceased from apparent multiple gunshot wounds.
The subsequent investigation and evidence led authorities to seek warrants for the two suspects.
Citizens are asked to contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at 903-665-3961 with any information on the location of Garry Wayne Craver. The Texas Rangers, along with other local agencies, are assisting in this ongoing investigation.
