A dispute that began inside a Chattanooga nightclub on the night of December 16, 2017, ended in deadly gunfire in the early morning hours of December 17. Twenty-two-year-old Sharone Porter and his older brother Torrie were in a parking lot on Cowart Street near Coyote Jack’s when witnesses say 24-year-old Roddarius Martin became involved, produced a 9mm pistol and fired several shots. Torrie escaped, but Sharone was struck, taken to a hospital and died shortly after arrival.

The Chattanooga Police Department arrested Martin the next day and charged him with criminal homicide, attempted first-degree murder for the shooting of Torrie Porter, aggravated assault and felony reckless endangerment. Investigators tied shell casings at the scene to a pistol Martin was known to possess and used witness testimony; the defense raised the possibility of a second shooter. Martin remained the only person charged in connection with Sharone Porter’s death.

Does anyone have information about the events in the parking lot that night or about witnesses who were there?
