CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Chattanooga Police have made two additional arrests in connection to two homicides that happened almost 5 years ago.

Willie Wooten Jr. and Anthony George were both taken into custody today at the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center.

Authorities arrested Cornelius Beasley, earlier this week, in connection to the crimes.

A fourth suspect, Khavell Williams, was arrested back in July.

This all stems from a pair of homicides that happened December 1, 2020.

A 61-year-old man was shot and killed outside his home in the 1700 block of South Kelly Street.

Later that evening, a 66-year-old woman was shot and killed at her home in the 1700 block of South Willow Street.
