On March 19, 2020, 20-year-old Holman Robert Trey Tanner was found dead from a gunshot wound at a residence in the 800 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Police responded shortly after 12:30 a.m. and the death was classified as a homicide.

Tanner was a junior in the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and a 2017 graduate of Christian Academy of Knoxville, where he played varsity football and wrestled. Family and friends remembered him as a bright, caring young man — a loving son and protective brother who enjoyed the outdoors, lakes and mountains.

The Chattanooga Police Department investigated the shooting, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information about Tanner’s death is asked to come forward.
