On the evening of July 16, 2017, Kathy Hardy, 45, was fatally shot on a pier in Renaissance Park in Chattanooga during what police described as a botched robbery. She and her husband, Shawn Hardy, had been approached by three men who demanded their belongings. One of the men, identified in charging documents as 22-year-old Tyree Tichion Corley, produced a firearm and fired three shots, killing Kathy.

Shawn Hardy escaped by jumping into the river and swimming to shore, where he alerted a security guard and later identified Corley in a photo lineup as the shooter. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses helped investigators track the suspects after the shooting. Corley was later arrested and charged with felony murder and especially aggravated robbery, but he died by suicide while in custody before the case reached trial, leaving aspects of the incident unresolved.

Did anyone in the Chattanooga area see or have footage from that night that could fill remaining gaps in the timeline?
