Douglas Holmes, 35, was fatally shot on Portland Street in East Chattanooga on June 24, 2019, after an argument over counterfeit money. A witness described the shooter as a young, dark-skinned Black male wearing a yellow hoodie; investigators say surveillance footage and messages from Holmes’s Facebook Messenger helped identify the suspect.

Jeremy Sutton, 20 at the time, was placed at the scene by a GPS-monitoring ankle bracelet he was wearing while on probation. Police say they found a yellow hoodie and a .40 caliber handgun at a Wilson Street residence where Sutton was located. Sutton initially gave conflicting accounts but later confessed to shooting Holmes. Sutton contacted a local television station about 30 minutes after the shooting and was subsequently arrested and charged.

Sutton pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in November 2021 and received a 30-year sentence with 100% service required. If anyone knew Douglas, witnessed the shooting, or has information not already reported, please share what can help complete the record.
