Teunte Lewis Rice was 18 when he was shot on Windsor Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the night of September 28, 2018. He was struck by at least one bullet, taken to a hospital in a private vehicle, and died of his wounds. Teunte’s family and friends remembered him as a free-spirited young man who loved fashion, dancing, and cooking and who had graduated from East Ridge High School.

Investigators say the inquiry moved quickly. The day after Rice’s death another teenager was found shot to death while holding the gun that investigators believe was used in Rice’s killing; authorities identified that second teenager as the primary suspect in Rice’s homicide. The discovery ended the active search for a perpetrator but left the community with lingering questions about the violence that claimed two young lives.

If anyone knew Teunte, saw him that night on Windsor Street, or has information about the events surrounding both shootings, please come forward.
