Brandon McDaniel
Brandon Deonte McDaniel, 21, has been taken into custody in a homicide that occurred at a residence in the 4800 block of 15th Avenue on Monday.
Donald Troutwine, 25, was shot Monday evening and died from his injuries after a shot was fired into his home following an altercation.
Multiple witnesses said the victim was sitting in his living room when a man came into the residence yelling about a missing cellphone.
The man said he was going to "shoot up" the residence. Then he walked outside.
Just as he left the witnesses said they heard one shot. Donald Troutwine said he had been shot and he got up and ran into the kitchen, where he collapsed on the floor.
One witness said he saw the man fire one time into the residence with a dark-colored firearm. He then ran to a white Jeep and fled the scene.
Two witnesses were shown a photo lineup and they picked out McDaniel.
A single shell casing was found in the front yard.
A window on the front of the house was damaged.
Police found blood on the floor of the kitchen.
Chattanooga Police responded to a person shot call in the 4800 block of 15th Avenue at approximately 8:13 p.m.
Upon arrival, police located Mr. Troutwine suffering from a single gunshot wound. He was taken by Hamilton County EMS to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Police earlier said, "It was stated to investigators that prior to the shooting an adult male entered the residence threatening violence then exited the home. Soon after, a suspect shot into the home, striking the victim. The incident appears to be isolated to those involved."
Acting on a tip that was called in to police, the CPD Fugitive Unit, CPD Gun Team, Hamilton County Fugitive Unit, U.S. Marshals, and ATF apprehended McDaniel at a residence in the 2700 block of Dodson Avenue. McDaniel is being held at the Hamilton County Jail.
