Hamilton County prosecutor H.C. Bright has requested that two 17-year-olds be tried as adults in the shooting death of a 21-year-old Harrison man.
On Wednesday, Hamilton County Sheriff’s investigators arrested Dominique Montel Greer and Franklin J. Wood Jr. on charges of felony murder and aggravated robbery in connection with the July 21 death of Darrion Moore.
It is the first homicide of the year in the unincorporated part of Hamilton County. Chattanooga has had 12 homicides so far this year.
Greer and Wood were being held Wednesday afternoon at the county’s juvenile detention center after a hearing before Juvenile Court Magistrate Bruce Owens, court spokesman Chris Albright said.
He said no date was set for the transfer hearing, where the juvenile court judge will decide if the two may legally be sent to criminal court and face trial as adults.
