Langdon Strickland was 33 and living in Chattanooga when he was shot on the 500 block of South Kelly Street on the afternoon of August 14, 2017. Responding officers and medics found him with a life-threatening gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Neighbors described the attack as sudden and terrifying, and one witness told investigators a gray Jeep drove up, stopped, and then erupted in roughly ten or eleven shots before speeding away.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, naming Demetrius Delaney Buchanan and seeking him on a first-degree murder charge with related allegations of reckless endangerment and a firearm offense tied to a dangerous felony. Buchanan was added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Top 10 Most Wanted list, and a reward was offered. Authorities reported Buchanan turned himself in to the U.S. Marshals Service Smoky Mountains Fugitive Task Force in Chattanooga and was booked into the Hamilton County Jail on September 22, 2017. If anyone knew Strickland or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
