Rayshann Underwood, 17, was found shot to death on June 20, 2017, in Highland Memorial Gardens cemetery in the North Brainerd area of Chattanooga, Tennessee. His body was discovered alongside 20-year-old Thomas Holder; police described the killings as gang-motivated.

Investigators identified two suspects: William Howard Wright and an unnamed 17-year-old. An affidavit says surveillance at East Lake Courts showed Underwood and Holder get into a silver PT Cruiser with Wright and the juvenile in the early morning hours of June 21, 2017. Cell tower records from Underwood’s phone traced the vehicle’s movement toward East Chattanooga and the vicinity of the Highland Cemetery, and a witness reported hearing a gunshot from the cemetery area at about 1:28 a.m. The PT Cruiser was later recorded returning to East Lake Courts without Underwood or Holder.

A warrant was issued charging William Howard Wright with first-degree felony murder in both deaths and with especially aggravated robbery in Holder’s death. The affidavit and criminal filing do not detail outcomes for Wright or the juvenile. Did anyone in East Lake Courts or Highland Memorial Gardens see or hear anything that night?
