ATLANTA - Atlanta police arrested a suspect Tuesday in the 1999 slaying of a marketing executive who was shot on a footbridge near a MARTA rail station in Buckhead. <br>
<br>
Anthony Tutman, 25, was charged with murder in the death of Gordon Bynum Jr., who was shot in the chest minutes after he leaving the train station at Lenox Square shortly before midnight June 9, 1999. <br>
<br>
Police Sgt. John Quigley said authorities are investigating the possible role of another man already in custody on unrelated charges. <br>
<br>
Bynum, 44, died two weeks before he was to be married. He had returned from a one-day business trip when, police said at the time, he might have crossed paths with two men who had just robbed a hotel parking lot attendant. <br>

Photographs taken by a camera in the parking lot of a nearby Marriott hotel caught two men running from the lot and onto the bridge just after the robbery.
