Third Suspect Arrested in Forsyth Man's Killing

CUMMING, GA — A third person has been arrested in the killing of a Forsyth County man.

Jimmie Lee Winkles, 23, was arrested at a home in Banks County on Sunday. He is charged in the death of David Eric Guice, 35, whose body was found in his home on Odyssey Trail on Thursday.

Tonya Tidwell, 32, and Ryan Spark, 29, were arrested earlier and, like Winkles, have been charged with aggravated assault and felony murder.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office has not released details about the manner of Guice's death. His body has been sent to the GBI Crime Lab for an autopsy.

After the arrest of Tidwell and Spark, sheriff's deputies and the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force had been actively seeking a third suspect, the sheriff's office said in a written statement.

Winkles did not offer any resistance when arrested in Banks County, the statement said.

"During the course of this investigation, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Unit was working with local authorities in extreme North Georgia," the statement said. "We were aware of his general location and knew he was not in Forsyth County. This investigation has been conducted around the clock in order to locate him."

All three suspects are being held at the Forsyth County Detention Center.
