Johnny L. Sanders, a 40-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on May 8, 2016, while working as a bouncer at the Bella Vita Restaurant on Cowart Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee. An altercation inside the restaurant led Sanders to escort a patron outside, where that patron shot him once. Sanders was transported to a local hospital but died of his injuries.

Police took 31-year-old Andrew Wilson Jr. into custody shortly after the shooting. He was charged with criminal homicide and unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with Sanders’s death. Investigators noted Wilson had a prior criminal record, including a 2013 charge in the shooting death of Desmond McClure in which Wilson claimed self-defense.

Sanders was remembered by his community as a veteran and a devoted father. Does anyone have information about the incident that could help clarify what happened that night?
