Akeyllya Berry didn’t expect to be arrested when she arrived at the hospital where her brother was dying of multiple gunshot wounds Monday night.
But she was.
Now, her arrest and her brother’s death – plus the actions of law enforcement in the hours after he died – have sparked great debate among some Chattanooga community members. Some citizens say law enforcement officers used unnecessary force, while others are calling for calm.
The chain of events started around 11 p.m. Monday, when Apprentice Berry, 20, was shot multiple times at the Woodlawn Apartments on Wilson Street. He was taken to Erlanger hospital, where he later died from his wounds.
