District Attorney Jim Martin and Fountain Hill Police Chief Edward Bachert have announced an arrest in a homicide.

Jarrett Hunter Hein, 23, of Fountain Hill, is charged with criminal homicide, a felony of the first degree. Hein is in Lehigh County Jail with no bail.

At approximately 7:03 p.m. Dec. 9, Fountain Hill police responded to the 1400 block of Broadway for a 911 call of a shooting with a person injured.

Travorious Gudger, 20, was found in the rear parking lot area near Broadway, shot several times, and died at the scene. His death was ruled a homicide by the Lehigh County Coroner’s office. Near Gudger’s body, police found an unloaded .357 magnum revolver.

Hein was nearby with a 9mm Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun with seven live rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. The gun and magazine were on the ground.

An investigation revealed that Hein and the victim had arranged to meet through an online site where Hein was selling the .357 handgun. Gudger responded to Hein and said he was interested in purchasing the weapon and they corresponded for more than a week before deciding to meet in the Wawa parking lot on the evening of Dec. 9. Gudger said he wanted to examine the handgun.

Hein arrived in the area first and Gudger approached Hein’s car. Hein showed the handgun to Gudger, who ran away with the weapon.

Hein drew the Si Sauer from a holster on his waist and racked a bullet into the chamber. He told police he fired multiple gunshots at Gudger as he ran and then called 911 to report the shooting.
