Cedric Dickens, 56, known as Mojoe, was shot dead inside his Vine Street home in Chattanooga, Tennessee on March 26, 2024. A man identified as 32-year-old Andre Johnson arrived at the residence that day; witnesses later described his behavior as paranoid. Johnson allegedly fired once at a person in the front yard and missed. When a shot was heard, Dickens called out, and Johnson is said to have turned and fired again, striking Dickens.

Dickens was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. A witness at the scene identified Johnson from a photo lineup, and Johnson left his cell phone behind at the house. Arrest warrants for first-degree murder, attempted criminal homicide, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony were issued. Johnson was located on April 4, 2024 in an apartment on McBrien Road and was booked into the Hamilton County Jail and Detention Center; bond was later set at $1.6 million.

Does anyone have information about Cedric Dickens’ life on Vine Street or about the events on March 26, 2024 that could help the investigation?
