Cecil Scoffield, 72, was killed inside his Chattanooga apartment on the night of June 12, 2022, when a stray bullet from a shooting outside 2709 Citico Avenue passed through his computer screen and struck him while he played solitaire on his computer around 10:30 p.m. Investigators determined he was not the intended target; a woman sitting in a nearby car was also injured by the same burst of gunfire. Seventeen shell casings were recovered at the scene.

Authorities later identified and arrested 22-year-old Jamaal Cameron Lee White in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and announced charges including criminal homicide, attempted first-degree murder, felony reckless endangerment, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Police allege White opened fire after seeing someone he believed had taken his car and fired at the vehicle as it tried to drive away, one round striking Scoffield inside his home.

Does anyone have information about the shooting on Citico Avenue that night or remembered seeing activity in the area around 10:30 p.m.?
