An arrest is made a 2006 murder, at least eight others, dating back to 2001, remained unsolved.

Thursday night, Terrance Gamble was arrested for the March, 2006, Murder of Jimmy Buckley at Cheetah's strip club. That closes the books on unsolved homicides from last year, but there's others Lansing Police are still working on, including:

June 23, 2001: Bernita White was shot just outside the entrance of the Potter Park Zoo. She was with her 5-year old child. Her husband, Artis, a Michigan State Police D/Sgt. at the time, was considered a suspect. Lansing Police Lt. Bruce Ferguson says,"...there's been no one fully excluded."

July 3, 2003: Brandon Bridges, 21, was shot outside of his home on Francis Street. Neighbors say the father of two had his front door kicked in, he was tossed out and shot.

December 20, 2004: Police responding to a 911 call found Barbara Tuttle, 45, inside a Washington Ave. home. Autopsy results show she died of blunt force trauma to the head.

May 3, 2005: The body of 39-year old Teressa Mathis was found inside a home. Investigators say a fire was intentionally set and her death was most likely drug related.

June 30, 2007: Brandon Williams, 17, was gunned down outside of his apartment.

July 26, 2007: Community activist Ruth Hallman is brutally beaten in her Genesee Neighborhood home. She died two days later.

August 7, 2007: Deborah Cooke, 36, is found under a tree in Hunter Park. Police will only say she was physically assaulted.

August 9, 2007: Police responding to a 911 call find a woman in the same Washington Ave. home Barbara Tuttle died in.
