On the night of July 4, 2016, gunfire on Jarvis Avenue in Chattanooga, Tennessee, left 28-year-old Marcus Cal fatally wounded in what investigators believe was a targeted, gang-related attack. Witnesses described two vehicles pulling up and their occupants unleashing a barrage of bullets at a group of people. Two other men, Tony Jackson and Ivan Hill, suffered non-life-threatening injuries at the scene.

Another man, Alex Freeman, died in a connected outbreak of violence at a different location that night. Chattanooga Police Chief Fred Fletcher attributed the shootings to escalating tensions between rival gangs, sparked by disputes over music videos and perceived disrespect. The investigation has remained active, with police and Crime Stoppers urging witnesses and anyone who transported victims to the hospital to come forward, though some potential witnesses have been reluctant to cooperate.

No arrests or suspect names have been publicly announced. If anyone has information about the shooting, or recalled seeing the vehicles or people involved that night, please share what is known with investigators.
