Leonard Driver, 27, was shot in the early hours of April 27, 2026, at an apartment complex on the 1500 block of Hickory Valley Road in Chattanooga. Officers responding to a person-shot call found Driver in a second-floor hallway; reports say he had been shot several times and was described as deceased at the scene by police, while another report said he later died at a hospital. Investigators reported shell casings, bullet damage to nearby walls and a trail of blood leading from an apartment into the hallway.

Police identified 21-year-old Randall Brady as the suspect. Detectives said the physical evidence did not fully support Brady’s account and noted bullet damage consistent with shots fired as the victim was moving away. Brady was arrested and booked April 27 and charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, reckless endangerment and tampering with or fabricating evidence.

The investigation was still in its early stages and the charges are allegations. Anyone with information about the Hickory Valley Road homicide is asked to contact Chattanooga police.
