Michael Hines was 41 when he was murdered at his mother’s home in the Brainerd area of Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the afternoon of March 9, 2016. Two unidentified men arrived and asked the mother for him; one went inside, confronted Hines, demanded money and then shot him multiple times. The assailants fled in a vehicle before police arrived. Emergency responders pronounced Hines dead at the scene from his gunshot wounds.

The case remains an open, unsolved homicide. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested, and investigators have pursued leads without a break in the case. The family’s loss deepened later that year when Michael’s daughter, Jasmine Hines, was killed in a separate incident. If anyone was in the Brainerd neighborhood that afternoon or has information about the two men or the vehicle they left in, please come forward.
