Deoaunte M. Dean, 24, was shot and killed inside his home on Dorris Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on January 1, 2015. A Black male and father of four, Dean’s death occurred during one of three separate shootings in the city that New Year’s morning. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire in the early hours; investigators found a broken window at the scene and processed the house as a homicide investigation.

Friends and family described Dean as a devoted father and a good, well-liked person not involved in trouble that would explain the killing. It was reported that his children were in the home when he was shot. The Chattanooga Police Department appealed to the public for information but did not release a motive or name any person of interest, and there have been no public announcements of arrests or suspects.

Does anyone have information about that night on Dorris Street or remember seeing anything that could help investigators?
