CENTERVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has announced an arrest in connection to two deadly shootings in Hickman County.
Friday, TBI agents took over an investigation into the death of 70-year-old Wallace D. Rediker after he was found shot to death in his East Beaverdam Road home.
Their investigation led them to determine David N. Katahn, 70, was the person responsible for Wallace Rediker's death. However, the TBI says Katahn was later found fatally shot in his driveway.
They say further investigations revealed 35-year-old John E. Rediker as the person behind the shooting death of Katahn.
John Rediker was arrested Friday night on one charge of criminal homicide. He is being held without bond at the Hickman County Jail, pending his first court appearance.
For people of my generation, in our younger days we spent part of our weekends watching music shows like American Bandstand and Soul Train. That was before the age of music videos. Several years before Soul Train was syndicated out of Chicago, another syndicated R&B show was taped in Nashville at NewsChannel 5. Night Train aired in the 60s and included what may have been the first TV appearance for legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Forrest Sanders has another great look back at station history.
