Texan Tree-Swinger Charged with Double Homicide of White Man and Woman

Harvey Louis Martin.

There’s no mention of a motive, so I’m going to go with “he did it because they were white” until proven otherwise.

East Texas Matters:

Two people are dead and a man is in custody following a early Thursday morning shooting in Tyler.

Shortly after 2 a.m., Tyler Police officers were called to the 2300 block of Ridgewood Drive in reference to an aggravated assault.

When they arrived, two people were found dead by gunshot wounds.

The victims have been identified as Krista Newman, 25, of Frankston, and Caleb McGrady, 26, of Tyler.

Tyler Police have now identified Harvey Louis Martin, 52, as the shooter in this incident.

Martin has been charged with capital murder and his bond is set at $1 million.
