On a December evening in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the life of 23-year-old Hollis Malone was tragically cut short. On December 8, 2019, Malone was at the Bayberry Apartments when gunfire erupted. He, along with 22-year-old Lyonnel Gladden, was fatally wounded in the incident. A third individual was also injured but survived. The shooting prompted an investigation by the Chattanooga Police Department.
In the days following the double homicide, the community mourned the loss of the two young
men. Details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting were slow to emerge as investigators worked to identify and locate the person or persons responsible. The Bayberry Apartments, the scene of the crime, became a focal point of the investigation as authorities appealed to the public for any information that could lead to an arrest.
A break in the case came when authorities identified a suspect and took them into custody. The individual was subsequently charged in connection with the deaths of Hollis Malone and Lyonnel Gladden. The arrest brought a measure of relief to the families and the community, marking a significant step towards justice for the two victims whose lives were violently ended. Further details regarding the suspect's identity and the progression of the legal case, including trial and sentencing, have not been made widely available in public reports.
