ATLANTA - A man imprisoned for a series of bank robberies was named today as the second suspect in the 1999 slaying of an Atlanta marketing executive who was shot near a MARTA train station. <br> <br> Twenty-seven-year-old Christopher Thomas was arrested in the death of Gordon Bynum Junior. <br> <br> Yesterday, 25-year-old Anthony Tutman was charged with murder in the case. <br> <br> The 44-year-old Bynum was shot in the chest shortly before midnight June ninth, 1999, as he left the rail station near Lenox Square after returning from a business trip. He was supposed to get married two weeks later. <br> <br> Tutman and Thomas were among five men arrested last summer on the bank robbery charges. Tutman had already pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 57 months.
