The indictments were opened in Pierce County Superior Court by Waycross Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Kight last week.
The Bryants are being represented by Sarah Lewis of the Waycross Judicial Circuit Public Defender’s Office.
Bryant Sr. is accused of shooting Guess multiple times between 5-5:30 a.m. the morning of Thursday, October 17. Bryant Jr. is accused of intentionally aiding and abetting his father in the murder.
Both men were arrested in December, 2024. Bryant Sr. was Guess’s supervisor at her job at Clayton Homes in Waycross. The pair had also been romantically involved, but Guess had recently broken off the relationship.
Guess, 34, was murdered in front of her home in the 800 block of Ware Street as she walked out to her car.
