A July 14, 2019 apartment-party confrontation in Chattanooga ended in deadly gunfire that killed 25-year-old Rigoberto Jarquin. The shooting took place at Douglas Heights Apartments near the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus after a group denied entry tried to force their way into the apartment. Surveillance footage captured the incident; Jarquin was struck by multiple bullets and the medical examiner recorded four gunshot wounds as the cause of death. Two other men in the apartment were wounded, one in the shoulder and one in the thigh.

Investigators arrested three people after reviewing the footage. Toddie Woods fired roughly 15 shots through the closed door and was charged with murder and attempted murder; he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder and received a 20-year sentence with concurrent eight-year terms for the attempted murders. Omerrieal Woods handed the gun to his brother and was convicted of facilitation charges, receiving six years. Hyacinth Taylor, who passed the gun along, pleaded guilty to facilitation of reckless homicide, two counts of attempted aggravated assault, and theft and received a suspended sentence with probation. Both Toddie and Omerrieal Woods were identified in court as validated gang members.

If anyone knew Rigoberto Jarquin or was at Douglas Heights Apartments that night, please share information that could help clarify what happened.
