Wendell Lamont Mitchell, 50, was shot and killed on West 41st Street in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the night of April 22, 2023. Authorities described the shooting as occurring during an attempted robbery.

For about a month the investigation named no suspect. On May 22, 2023, Chattanooga police arrested Demarcus Long and charged him with criminal homicide in connection with Mitchell’s death; Long was booked into the Hamilton County Jail. The charging decision followed evidence gathered in the weeks after the shooting, and the case is set to move through Hamilton County criminal court.

Does anyone in Chattanooga have information about that night on West 41st Street or about Wendell Mitchell’s activities that evening?
