A prominent Tennessee businessman was shot and killed by a man with 66 prior arrests while on his way to attend his high school class’s 20th-anniversary reunion, authorities said.
Christopher Wright, 38, was in downtown Chattanooga on Thursday night to meet up with fellow Baylor School alumni when he got into an argument with Darryl Roberts, a career criminal known as “Too Tall,”..
Surveillance of the incident shows Wright, a father of three, including an 8-week-old baby, talking to Roberts, 57, and another man before walking away.
Wright then turns around to say something to the two men, with Roberts reacting by walking up to him and firing his gun at Wright’s head, police said.
Wright was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died.
Robert quickly fled, but was captured by police the following day in a coordinated search with the US Marshals Service and the ATF.
Court records show that Roberts has a lengthy rap sheet that includes assault, thefts, drug charges, burglaries, a series of traffic offenses and a case of aggravated robbery in 2000.
...
One of his most notable arrests included a home invasion in 2010, where he fired six shots through a bedroom door in Hixson Pike.
One adult and four children were behind the door, but no one was hurt, police said.
Despite being arrested more than five dozen times, records show that Roberts never served more than six months behind bars.
...
Wright and his wife had just welcomed their third child into the world eight weeks ago.

Too close to home!
Time for an eye for an eye justice.
Execute him, the death penalty, in the same manner he killed that poor man and destroyed his family.
American Anarchy. George Soros can go to hell.
The killer was 57 and still had the uncontrolled impulses of a 16-year-old street hoodlum.
If only they had a 66 strikes and you’re out law, this could have been prevented. SMH
EC
Catch and release / no cash bail is bad for future victims..
I was gonna ask.....
(a man with 66 prior arrests)
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do I have to look?
Oh, I just looked.....
The judge that let him off needs to be executed.
We’ve been to Songbirds in the Choo-Choo district twice in the last 6 months. This is a good ways from there, but still downtown Chattanooga.
I have to wonder if their city government hasn’t gone woke, that this guy has never gone to prison.
That the victim was a Baylor grad should get everyone’s attention. The old school homegrown moneyed elite of Chattanooga all went to Baylor or McCauley for generations. I did some work at Baylor in the mid-80s, and it was old school then.
I posted this last night.
Why was he arguing with him?
Just IGNORE these ferals. Don’t confront them, put your head down and walk briskly past them.
They are a plague and should all have a homeland in Africa.
As far as safety goes, I prefer Knoxville over Chattanooga. I’m a few miles closer to Chattanooga though. I never go there at night if it can be avoided and never through certain areas even in daytime if it can be avoided. I’m in Athens, kind of between the two big cities. As far as being woke goes, I have no idea! I hope not. My granddaughter was a PTA in Chattanooga for a while and talked about drive-by shootings, so it is probably getting there.
66 prior arrests and he is out walking the streets because of this woke, DEI justice system brought to you by these s bags in charge, we need to purge the system
And he had a gun??? Didn't anyone tell him THAT's ILLEGAL?!?!?!?!
More of our judicial systems saying "F' decent American citizens"
...and that POS IS NOT A MAN!!
